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.
MILLICAN, TX
Drainage & Excavation in Millican: what’s different here.
Millican is a small unincorporated community of a few hundred people (240 at the 2010 census) in southern Brazos County, at FM 2154 and FM 159 between the Brazos and Navasota rivers. Settled in the 1820s and briefly the end of the Houston and Texas Central Railway in the 1860s, it is now rural, with pasture, post oak woods, and creek bottoms toward the Navasota River. As unincorporated county land, Millican falls under the Brazos County Floodplain Development Permit for construction in mapped floodplain and the Brazos County Health District for septic, and the long county roads make access and material delivery part of the plan.
Site & Property Work in Millican
Land clearing, long driveways, culverts, pond and pad work, and drainage on tracts that run down into creek bottoms are the typical site jobs around Millican.
The ground
Ground around Millican runs from sandy post oak uplands to heavy clay in the creek and river bottoms, so one tract can have both well-drained high ground and low ground that stays wet.
Homes and lots
Rural homes on ten-acre homesites and larger tracts along FM 2154 and FM 159, with ranchland and very few small lots.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
How Much Does a French Drain Cost in Bryan–College Station? (2026)
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.
