How Proper Drainage Protects Your DFW Landscape Investment

December 29, 2025

Whether you're installing a new lawn or updating your landscape, ignoring drainage issues can quickly undo all your hard work. Water pooling, erosion, foundation cracks, and dead turf are just a few of the problems caused by poor drainage.

That’s why at Texscape Solutions & Exteriors, we offer expert drainage solutions in DFW designed to protect your property from costly water damage. From French drains to surface grading, we help you prevent problems before they start.

Why DFW Homes Need Custom Drainage Solutions

The soil in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex—especially the clay-heavy type—expands and contracts with moisture. This makes it more likely for water to pool near your foundation or flood areas of your lawn.

Drainage issues can lead to:

  • Soggy, unusable yards
  • Foundation damage and cracks
  • Mold and mildew near structures
  • Dead grass and landscape erosion

Fixing these issues early with proper landscape drainage keeps your outdoor investment safe and looking its best.

Signs You Need Drainage Services

Here are some red flags homeowners should watch for:

  • Water pooling after rain
  • Downspouts dumping water too close to the house
  • Patches of dead grass or plant rot
  • Cracks in soil or patio surfaces
  • Standing water near your foundation

If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time to call a DFW drainage expert like Texscape.

Our Drainage & Irrigation Services

We customize our drainage services to your property’s layout and needs:

âś… French Drains

A French drain moves excess water away from your home using gravel and perforated piping buried underground. It’s ideal for:

  • Saturated lawns
  • Slope correction
  • Keeping water away from foundations

âś… Surface Grading

Re-sloping the surface of your yard ensures water flows away from structures and drains properly. We use grading to correct improper construction or erosion-prone areas.

âś… Catch Basins & Channel Drains

Installed in patios, driveways, or near gutters, these help collect and redirect surface water quickly and efficiently.

âś… Downspout Extensions

Simple but crucial—rerouting your downspouts properly keeps roof runoff from pooling around your home’s foundation.

âś… Irrigation Integration

Already have or need a sprinkler system? We tie our drainage solutions into your irrigation setup so the two systems work together—not against each other.
