French drains
A trench with perforated pipe and gravel that collects water and carries it away.
Grading and swales

Downspout lines
Gutter downspouts piped underground away from the foundation.
Drainage around new hardscape
Water planned for before patios, walls, and drives go in, not after.

Why people call about this.
Standing water after rain
Low spots that stay soggy for days kill grass and breed mosquitoes.
Water against the foundation
On expansive clay, water pooling at the slab is a foundation problem waiting to happen.
Washouts and erosion
Beds and mulch washing across the yard, or soil cutting away under a patio.
WACO, TX
Yard Drainage & French Drains in Waco: what’s different here.
Waco is the McLennan County seat, a city of about 138,500 people (2020 census) on the Brazos River and I-35, home to Baylor University, with Lake Waco on its western edge. Its neighborhoods range from historic districts like Castle Heights to newer growth in Hewitt, Woodway, China Spring, and the I-35 corridor south toward Robinson and Lorena. Waco and each suburb (Hewitt, Woodway, Robinson, Lorena) issue their own permits, many newer subdivisions have HOAs, and because it is about 40 minutes from Temple, visits and work days are planned around the drive.
Pavers & Hardscape in Waco
Pavers set on a proper base handle Waco’s expansive clay better than large slabs, and sloped lots near Lake Waco often need retaining walls.
The ground
East and south of Waco the soil is heavy Houston Black clay with severe shrink-swell, while to the west toward Lake Waco and Woodway the ground carries more limestone and chalk close to the surface.
Homes and lots
Older homes on tree-lined streets in neighborhoods like Castle Heights and Sanger Heights, family subdivisions in Hewitt and Woodway, and larger lots and acreage around China Spring.
