South Austin Landscaping & Construction provides professional drainage system installation for homeowners across Austin and nearby communities. We design and install functional, long-term drainage solutions that protect your property from standing water, erosion, and foundation-related issues.
If water is pooling in your yard, damaging landscaping, or placing stress on your home, our team focuses on correcting the root cause — not masking the symptoms.

We install residential drainage systems tailored to your property’s layout, slope, soil composition, and discharge options, including:
• French drains
• Surface and yard drains
• Downspout drainage extensions
• Area drains and catch basins
• Drainage corrections for improper grading
• Drainage systems integrated with retaining walls or hardscape
Each system is planned to move water away from structures efficiently, safely, and consistently.

Effective drainage work requires understanding water flow patterns, soil saturation, elevation change, and proper discharge routing.
It is not about digging trenches at random.
Our approach includes:
• Identifying where water originates and where it collects
• Evaluating slope and grading conditions
• Designing proper drainage paths and pipe placement
• Installing correct pipe depth, gravel bedding, and filtration materials
• Ensuring discharge points move water safely away from foundations and structures
We do not install one-size-fits-all systems. Every drainage solution is structured specifically for the property it serves.
Improper drainage design can redirect water to new problem areas. Our focus is long-term water control — not temporary diversion.
⸻
Drainage systems must function beneath the surface, often unseen, while protecting your property during heavy rainfall and seasonal changes.
We design systems that:
• Address water at its source
• Relieve hydrostatic pressure near structures
• Prevent soil erosion and turf washout
• Protect foundation integrity
• Integrate with existing grading and exterior features
If your priority is a properly engineered solution rather than a quick fix, our drainage installation standards are built accordingly.
