Cool-season wet clay around a Austin house
Shorter days and slow evapotranspiration make winter the honest test of a path. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
North-side shade and a lawn that never dries in Austin
Shade slows evaporation. Add roof water and you have a climate, not a mystery. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
Trees, roots, and drainage lines in Austin
Roots follow water. A perforated line under a thirsty oak is a future clog unless you plan for it. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
Cutting driveways and walks for drainage in Austin
Sometimes the only honest capture crosses concrete. The cut, the set, and the close are part of restoration. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
When Austin needs a whole-property drainage system
Repeated wet corners after small jobs usually mean the path was never drawn as one system. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.

When a curtain drain belongs on a Austin lot
Use it to cut off subsurface flow before the wall. Not as a nickname for any trench near the house. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
Verification after a Austin drainage install
Flow test. Photographs of the open trench and the finish. Elevations. As-built. That is WaterPath’s sixth move. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
How collected water should travel across a Austin yard
Once captured, water has to move. Diameter from volume and length. Recorded slope. Cleanouts you can reach. Local notes for Austin: thin soils over limestone on the Edwards Plateau edge.
