Stop Water From Damaging Your Yard, Foundation, Patio, And Landscape​

PLS Landscaping installs drainage systems built to move water correctly across Houston residential properties. We handle surface water, downspout runoff, standing water, low areas, patio flooding, side-yard drainage, and grading problems with construction-focused solutions.

Catch basin drainage systems​

Collects surface water from low areas and redirects runoff through underground drainage pipe systems to help reduce standing water and flooding.
​

Downspout drainage tie-ins​

Connects gutter downspouts into underground drainage pipe systems to move roof runoff away from foundations, beds, patios, and walkways.
​​

Sump Pumps

Removes collected water from saturated or low drainage areas using pump-assisted discharge systems designed for heavy water accumulation zones.​
​

Channel drains for patios and driveways​

Captures surface runoff along patios, driveways, and concrete areas before water can collect, overflow, or flood surrounding sections.​

​Drainage Systems Designed Around Your Property.

Most drainage problems start with poor elevation planning, blocked water flow, low areas, or runoff trapped between structures, patios, fences, and landscape beds. A drainage system should move water efficiently across the property without creating new problem areas. PLS Landscaping installs drainage systems that integrate grading, pipe layout, surface collection, and discharge planning into one complete solution.

Skid Steer Grading For Drainage Correction

​Proper drainage starts with elevation control. Many drainage problems are caused by uneven grading, low collection areas, poor runoff direction, or landscape construction that traps water against the home or patio.

PLS Landscaping uses skid steer equipment and laser-guided grading methods to reshape drainage flow across residential properties in Houston. Grading work may include lowering high areas, filling low sections, correcting slope transitions, reshaping side yards, and preparing surfaces before drainage installation, sod installation, hardscape construction, or artificial turf projects.

​Correct grading helps water move consistently toward collection points and discharge areas instead of pooling throughout the yard.

How Our Drainage Process Works

Every drainage project starts with evaluating elevations, runoff direction, low collection points, and available discharge locations. Once the water movement is identified, we build a drainage plan around the property layout. 

​Depending on the project, work may include trenching, grading correction, catch basin installation, solid pipe installation, perforated pipe sections, downspout integration, and final surface restoration. Drainage systems are installed with proper slope and water flow direction to help prevent future standing water issues.

Frequently Asked Drainage Questions

How do I know if my yard has a drainage problem?

Common signs include standing water after rain, muddy lawn areas, erosion, water near the foundation, patio flooding, soggy grass, or runoff collecting along fences and walkways.

What drainage system works best for standing water?

The correct drainage solution depends on elevation, water source, soil conditions, and discharge location. Many Houston properties require a combination of grading, catch basins, solid pipe, and surface drainage systems.

Do French drains solve all drainage problems?

No. French drains are designed for subsurface water collection and saturated soil conditions. Surface flooding often requires grading correction, catch basins, or channel drains.

Can you connect gutters and downspouts into underground drainage?

Yes. Downspouts can be connected into underground solid pipe systems that move water away from the home and discharge it safely through designated outlets.

Do drainage systems require grading work?

In many cases, yes. Poor grading is one of the main causes of drainage failure. Correcting elevations and water flow direction is often necessary for long-term drainage performance.

Can drainage problems damage patios or foundations?

Yes. Water buildup around concrete, pavers, foundations, and retaining edges can lead to soil movement, erosion, settling, and long-term structural issues if not corrected.

Do you repair drainage problems around existing landscaping and hardscapes?

Yes. We install and correct drainage systems around patios, pavers, turf areas, landscape beds, fences, walkways, and existing outdoor construction features.
