French drains
Trenched systems with washed stone and perforated pipe to collect subsurface water and move it to a better discharge point.
French drain services
Drainage systems for Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels
Move water away before it becomes damage.
Raw Dirt Development LLC builds French drains, downspout extensions, catch basins, and runoff solutions for Central Texas properties that need dry foundations, usable yards, and smarter water flow.
Foundation
Move water away from slabs, crawlspaces, and low edges.
Yard
Correct soggy zones, standing water, and unusable side yards.
Local corridor
Focused on Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels.
Built for water, soil, and grade
Drainage is not landscaping. It is site problem-solving.
Good drainage starts with where water is coming from, where it should go, and what the soil will do after the next storm. Raw Dirt Development focuses on practical systems for the Buda to New Braunfels corridor that collect, redirect, and discharge water without turning the property into a construction zone for longer than necessary.
The first offer is intentionally focused: French drains and drainage solutions. Backyard putting greens and other outdoor scopes can come later, after the drainage work is winning leads.
Service areas
Focused on the fast-growing I-35 corridor south of Austin.
Raw Dirt Development is targeting drainage work in Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels first. That keeps response times realistic and helps the site rank for the places he actually wants to serve.
Buda
French drains and yard drainage for homes near growing subdivisions, side yards, and foundation edges.
Kyle
Drainage fixes for pooling lawns, downspout runoff, driveways, and commercial property edges.
San Marcos
Runoff control for sloped lots, soft yards, rental properties, shops, and water-sensitive access routes.
New Braunfels
Drainage systems for storm runoff, low spots, downspouts, and outdoor living areas that need to dry out.
Core services
The work people search for when the yard will not dry out.
Yard drainage
Solutions for standing water, soft turf, slope problems, side-yard pooling, and rainwater that keeps returning to the same low spot.
Yard drainage servicesDownspout drainage
Buried downspout lines, pop-up emitters, solid pipe runs, and discharge planning that gets roof water away from the structure.
Downspout drainageCommercial drainage
Drainage work for small commercial properties, shops, drive lanes, shop yards, and water-sensitive high-traffic areas.
Commercial drainageSigns to fix it now
Water problems usually leave a trail.
- Standing water remains more than 24 hours after rain.
- Water runs toward the foundation, garage, patio, or shop.
- Downspouts dump directly into mulch beds or low turf.
- Grass stays soft, muddy, or rutted in the same area.
- Soil erosion is cutting channels near walks or driveways.
- Water crosses a doorway, gate, driveway, or work area.
How the work flows
A drainage plan should be easy to explain before anyone digs.
Read the property
Check slope, roof water, low points, soil, access, and safe discharge options.
Choose the system
Match the issue to French drains, surface drains, solid pipe, catch basins, grading, or a combined approach.
Build clean
Install to grade, protect surrounding areas, use appropriate pipe and stone, and leave the site ready to settle back in.
Why drainage-first matters
The base work is the difference between a quick trench and a long-term fix.
Drainage jobs fail when water is collected but not discharged, when pipe is not pitched correctly, or when the surrounding grade keeps sending water back to the same place.
Raw Dirt Development can stand out by showing the thinking behind each system: what the water is doing now, what the new route is, and why that route protects properties across Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels.
