Standing water, soggy lawns, erosion, and foundation concerns are more than just inconveniences — they’re signs that your property isn’t draining properly. In Texas and the surrounding region, heavy rains and clay soils can overwhelm yards that weren’t designed with proper drainage in mind.

At Results Tree & Landscape Inc., we help homeowners diagnose drainage problems at the root and install long-term solutions that protect both your landscape and your home.

Why Proper Drainage Matters

Poor drainage doesn’t just affect how your yard looks — it can cause serious structural and landscaping issues over time, including:

• Water pooling near foundations

• Soil erosion and washouts

• Dying grass, trees, and shrubs

• Mosquito breeding areas

• Cracked concrete and shifting hardscapes

Addressing drainage early helps prevent costly repairs down the road and keeps your outdoor space functional and enjoyable year-round.

How We Help Homeowners Solve Drainage Problems

Every property is different, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all drainage solutions. Our process starts with evaluating how water moves across your property — during both light rain and heavy storms.

Depending on the issue, we may recommend solutions such as:

• Surface and subsurface drainage systems

• Channel drains and French drains

• Yard regrading and slope correction

• Downspout extensions and water redirection

• Concrete catch basin installations

Our goal is simple: move water away from problem areas efficiently and permanently, without compromising the look of your landscape.

Concrete Catch Basins vs. Plastic: Why Material Matters

One of the most common drainage components we install is a catch basin, which collects surface water and directs it into underground drainage lines. While both plastic and concrete catch basins are available, Results Tree & Landscape Inc. only installs concrete catch basins — and there’s a reason for that.

The Problem With Plastic Catch Basins

Plastic catch basins are often marketed as a cheaper, easier solution, but they come with long-term drawbacks:

• Can warp, crack, or collapse under soil pressure

• More likely to shift or float during heavy rain

• Shorter lifespan, especially in clay or expansive soils

• More prone to failure when driven over or near hardscapes

While plastic may save a little upfront, it often leads to replacements or repairs later.

Why We Use Concrete Catch Basins

Concrete catch basins are the industry standard for durable, professional drainage systems — especially in residential landscapes that experience heavy rain.

Benefits of concrete catch basins include:

• Exceptional strength and structural integrity

• Resistant to shifting, cracking, and collapsing

• Long-lasting performance in all soil conditions

• Able to handle vehicle and foot traffic

• Provides consistent water flow and reliability

The 12-inch concrete catch basin we install (shown in the image above) is designed to handle significant water volume while remaining stable underground for decades.

Simply put: concrete lasts longer, performs better, and protects your investment.
