French drains and drainage systems
Perforated pipe in a gravel trench, routed to daylight or a catch basin, to carry water away from the foundation and out of the yard.
Downspout and surface drains
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.
Excavation and site prep
Removing old slabs, cutting for patios and walls, and preparing ground before anything gets built.

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.
NAVASOTA, TX
Drainage & Excavation in Navasota: what’s different here.
Navasota is a town of about 7,600 people (2020 census) in Grimes County on a bend of the Navasota River, the largest town in the county. It grew as a railroad shipping center in the 1800s, keeps a historic downtown of stone and brick buildings, and was named the Blues Capital of Texas by the Legislature in 2005. Inside city limits, fences and other construction are permitted through the City of Navasota Building & Permitting Office on East McAlpine Street, with applications filed through the city’s online portal; outside town, Grimes County rules apply.
Site & Property Work in Navasota
Properties toward the Navasota River sit on dark clay floodplain soils that drain slowly, so grading and drains are planned around where the water can actually leave.
The ground
Grimes County uplands are gray sandy loams over clay subsoil, with dark clay alluvium in the Navasota River floodplain, so drainage and base depth depend heavily on which side of town and how close to the river a property is.
Homes and lots
Older homes on in-town lots near downtown, newer subdivisions such as Pecan Lakes Estates at the golf course, and acreage homes in the county around town.

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.
