More Than Drainage —
A Complete Water Management Approach

At Hogue, drainage is not just about moving water—it’s about understanding how water interacts with your entire property. We take a comprehensive approach that considers grading, soil conditions, irrigation, and landscape design to ensure water flows properly and does not cause future issues.

By addressing the root of the problem—not just the symptoms—we create drainage systems that protect your investment and improve long-term usability.

Our Drainage Solutions

Drainage Solutions
Designed for Houston

Protect your property from standing water, flooding, and long-term damage with professionally designed drainage systems built for Houston conditions. At Hogue Landscape Services, we design and install drainage solutions that move water efficiently, protect your landscape, and improve the overall performance of your outdoor space. 

Common Drainage Problems We Solve

  • Standing water in lawns or low areas
  • Water pooling near foundations
  • Erosion and soil washout
  • Soggy or unusable yard spaces
  • Drainage issues after heavy rainfall
  • Poor grading from previous installations

French Drains &
Subsurface Drainage


We install French drains and subsurface systems designed to collect and redirect excess water away from problem areas, helping prevent pooling and soil saturation.

Surface Drainage
& Grading


Proper grading is essential to effective drainage. We reshape and adjust your landscape to ensure water flows away from structures and low-lying areas.

Downspout & Gutter
Drainage Solutions


We extend and connect downspouts to drainage systems that move water safely away from your home’s foundation and landscaping.

Why Proper Drainage Matters

Drainage Solutions

Without proper drainage, water can cause long-term damage to both your landscape and your property.


  • Protects your home’s foundation
  • Prevents plant damage and root rot
  • Reduces erosion and soil loss
  • Improves usability of your outdoor space
  • Helps other systems (irrigation, turf, hardscape) perform properly

Catch Basins &
Channel Drains


For areas prone to heavy runoff, we install catch basins and channel drains that collect and manage surface water efficiently.

Drainage Integration
with Landscape Design


Drainage systems are integrated into your overall landscape to ensure both performance and visual appeal, without disrupting the look of your property.

Downspout Extensions
& Drain Tie-Ins


Roof runoff is one of the most common sources of drainage issues. We extend and connect downspouts to properly designed drainage systems, ensuring water is directed away from your home and landscape instead of collecting near foundations or planting areas.

Built for
Houston Conditions

Houston’s heavy rainfall, clay soils, and flat terrain create unique drainage challenges. Our systems are designed specifically for these conditions, ensuring water is properly collected, redirected, and managed—even during intense storms.

We design with long-term performance in mind, so your landscape continues to function well year after year.
