Landscape Drainage Design & Site Solutions
Practical Design. Built to Work Right the First Time.
Experience You Can See in Every Design
Over the years, JM Outdoor Living has developed a practical, design-based approach to drainage in The Woodlands area. Every property we work on teaches something new about how water interacts with soil, grade, and structure — and that experience shows in every project we build.
We don’t guess where water will go; we plan for it. From the start of every project, our goal is to design a landscape that manages water naturally, protects your home, and performs for years without rework. It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about getting it right the first time.
Drainage Systems Designed Around Your Property
Every property has its own challenges and elevations. JM Outdoor Living creates site-specific drainage landscape drainage plans in The Woodlands, TX that integrate seamlessly with your outdoor living design — using the right tools, grading, and materials to build long-term solutions.
Our design-build drainage services include:
-
French Drains for subsurface water control
-
Catch Basins & Channel Drains around patios, driveways, and pool decks
-
Grading & Recontouring for proper runoff and slope
-
Downspout & Foundation Tie-Ins for long-term protection
-
Sump Pumps & Dry Wells for low-lying or heavy-rain areas
-
Controlled Outflow Systems for efficient stormwater management
With a small excavator and years of site experience, we handle every phase of the process — from design and layout to installation and finish grading — ensuring precision and clean, professional results.
Understanding the Site — Not Just the Pipes
Plumbers know how to move water through pipes inside a home, but outdoor drainage is different.
Outside, water follows grade, soil, and structure — it interacts with patios, foundations, and the natural slope of your property.
JM Outdoor Living designs systems that work with your property, not against it. By shaping the terrain intelligently and integrating drains into the landscape, we ensure that water moves exactly where it should — quietly, efficiently, and without disrupting your outdoor space.
The Smarter Alternative
Many homeowners call a plumber or irrigation company first — and often spend more than they need to.
While they install pipes, they rarely address the full picture: site slope, elevation, and long-term landscape performance.
We’ve seen it time and again — a properly designed drainage plan could have solved the issue more efficiently and saved money in the long run.
That’s why our approach focuses on the entire property, ensuring your system performs perfectly from the start.
