Backyard Drainage Solutions Every DFW Home Needs

If you're dealing with standing water, soggy grass, or foundation cracks, you’re not alone—poor yard drainage is a common problem for homeowners across the DFW Metroplex. Thankfully, there are effective, affordable solutions available. At Texscape Solutions & Exteriors, we design and install custom backyard drainage systems that protect your landscape and your home.

Let’s explore why backyard drainage matters in DFW, common problems we solve, and how our team creates solutions that last.

Why DFW Homeowners Struggle with Drainage

North Texas weather can be unpredictable. The area’s expansive clay soils and frequent downpours make drainage a serious issue. Many homes weren’t designed with proper water flow in mind—leading to:

• Pooled water in low spots
• Erosion around foundations
• Flooded flower beds
• Soggy turf that won’t grow
• Mold, mildew, and foundation shifting

Without the right drainage system, water can ruin your lawn, stress your plants, and cost thousands in home repairs.

Signs You Need a Drainage Solution

How can you tell your yard needs professional drainage?

• Water pooling after rain for more than 24 hours
• Foundation cracks or shifting
• Washed-out mulch or landscape beds
• Dead grass or mossy areas
• Musty smells around your home’s exterior

If you notice these issues, it’s time to explore drainage solutions for your backyard.

Proven Drainage Solutions We Offer

At Texscape, we assess your yard’s topography and soil type to design the right drainage system. Here are a few common options we offer for DFW properties:

1. French Drains

French drains use underground piping and gravel to redirect water away from your home or low spots in the yard.

2. Channel Drains

Perfect for patios and driveways, channel drains collect and move surface water to designated runoff zones.

3. Dry Creek Beds

A decorative and functional solution that channels water naturally while enhancing curb appeal.

4. Catch Basins & Grates

These systems collect surface water and direct it to a pipe system that flows to a safe discharge area.

5. Downspout Extensions

Simple but highly effective, extensions prevent water from pooling near your foundation by guiding runoff away.

Each drainage solution is customized to your specific property, ensuring maximum performance and long-term reliability.

Drainage + Landscaping = Total Protection

One of the advantages of working with Texscape is that we don’t just install drainage—we understand landscaping too. That means we integrate drainage systems in a way that preserves or even enhances your yard’s appearance.

We’ll work with you to combine smart grading, hardscape features like retaining walls, and proper soil preparation to ensure water flows exactly where it should—away from your home and landscape features.

How Much Do Backyard Drainage Systems Cost?

The cost of a backyard drainage solution depends on the size of the yard, severity of the issue, and the chosen system. At Texscape, we provide:

✅ Free on-site evaluations
✅ Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
✅ Detailed recommendations tailored to your needs

Most homeowners find that a one-time investment in proper drainage is far less costly than repairing foundation damage, replacing turf, or fixing mold issues.
