Tying gutters into buried lines and setting catch basins where water ponds after a storm.
Grading
Reshaping ground so it falls away from the house and toward where you want the water to go.

Why people call about this.
Water against the foundation
Ponding at the slab after every rain is the most expensive problem in the yard to ignore.
A yard that stays soggy
Standing water for days after a storm usually means the grade is wrong, the soil is sealed, or both.
A project that needs the ground ready first
Patios, walls, and beds all last longer when the drainage is sorted before they go in.
KURTEN, TX
Drainage & Excavation in Kurten: what’s different here.
Kurten is a small town of about 400 people (395 at the 2020 census), roughly ten miles northeast of Bryan where Highway 21, US 190, and FM 2038 meet. It was settled by German immigrants in the 1860s, incorporated in 2000, and is mostly owner-occupied country homes on acreage. Kurten has its own zoning ordinance, and construction inside city limits needs a Land Use Permit through the Town Clerk’s office; septic systems are permitted through the Brazos County Health District.
Site & Property Work in Kurten
Brush clearing, driveway and culvert work, and pad sites for shops are common on Kurten acreage, all planned around the septic system on the property.
The ground
Kurten is in the Post Oak Savannah, with sandy soils over a clay subsoil under post oak woods, so trees, roots, and a clay layer a short way down shape most outdoor work.
Homes and lots
Country homes on three to five acres and larger tracts along FM 2038 and Highway 21, with very few small town lots.

Published College Station surveys put a yard French drain at about $20–$31 per linear foot, or roughly $2,000–$3,150 for 100 feet. Here is what moves that number, what the add-ons cost, and when regrading alone does the job.
