Tying gutters into buried lines and setting catch basins where water ponds after a storm.
Grading

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.
WIXON VALLEY, TX
Drainage & Excavation in Wixon Valley: what’s different here.
Wixon Valley is a small rural city of about 230 people (228 at the 2020 census), roughly four miles northeast of Bryan. It grew up as a Bryan suburb in the mid-1980s, incorporated around 1988, and its name is likely a variant of Wickson, the 1840s settler family that also named nearby Wickson Creek. Wixon Valley handles septic permits inside its own city limits rather than through the Brazos County Health District, Wickson Creek can flood roads after heavy rain, and digging starts with a Texas811 locate.
Site & Property Work in Wixon Valley
Properties near Wickson Creek and its branches hold water after storms, so drainage, culverts, and building pads are planned around where the low ground actually is.
The ground
The city sits on post oak uplands cut by Wickson Creek and its branches, so low ground near the creek drains slowly and can flood, while higher ground has sandy soil over clay.
Homes and lots
Single-family homes on rural lots and small acreage rather than dense subdivisions.
