Drainage That Holds Through Clay-Soil Storms in Greenville, TX

Houston Black clay doesn't drain. We trace where the water actually comes from, where it has to go, and build the system that gets it there, residential lots, commercial sites, and ranch pasture both.

What Greenville Brings To The Job

Drainage That Holds Through Clay-Soil Storms, Greenville, TX

Drainage that holds in Hunt County is usually acreage-scale, not a tight lot: a low pasture, a barn pad that floods, or a yard sitting on Houston Black and Bell clay, with longer runs to a real outlet than a subdivision job. Toward Lake Tawakoni and the Sabine drainage, the system has to move water across longer distances without cutting the soil.

We trace the water across the acreage, cut graded swales sized to hold through the clay's cycle, and tie subsurface drain in only where it earns its cost, daylighting the outflow somewhere it actually leaves the property.

Soil

Houston Black and Bell clay hold water in wet years and crack in dry ones, so swales are cut to hold their grade through the full wet-dry cycle.

Scale

Rural runs are longer than a lot, so the system is more linear feet of swale or pipe to a pond, ditch, or daylight point well clear of structures.

Permits

Unincorporated Hunt County is minimal-permit on residential work; Greenville and Commerce limits add stormwater on disturbed acreage.
