French drains in San Leon — drainage built for Gulf soils
Custom drainage systems engineered for Gulf soils, heavy rain and coastal foundations.
French Drains across the Galveston Bay area
Stop puddles, soggy lawns and foundation stress with a professionally designed French drain from Standard Fence. Serving San Leon, League City, Houston, Santa Fe, Bacliff, Seabrook, Webster, Dickinson, Texas City, Kemah and Galveston, we assess soil type, grade and water flow to design a system that actually moves water — away from slabs, fence lines, patios and low spots. Our team sets proper slope and alignment, installs perforated pipe with filter fabric, and backfills with washed gravel for reliable performance. You get clean trenches, neat restoration and results that last.
