Standing water and saturated soil can make a yard difficult to use and can put nearby landscaping at risk. CDS Landscaping installs French drains that collect excess water below the surface and hold it underground while it gradually percolates through the drain rock and into the surrounding soil. The result is a practical, low-profile drainage solution designed for your property.
A French drain is an underground water-management system—not simply a pipe that sends runoff somewhere else. Water enters the stone-filled trench and perforated pipe, where it is temporarily stored. The open spaces in the drain rock provide additional capacity, allowing the collected water to dissipate slowly into the surrounding ground.

Every property handles water differently. CDS Landscaping evaluates the problem area, surrounding grades, soil conditions, and the desired surface finish before recommending a French drain layout suited to the site.
We plan the trench route and drainage capacity around the areas where water collects, helping the system work with the natural conditions of your yard.
Our team installs the pipe, clean drain rock, and protective fabric in the correct sequence so each component can perform its role and the drain field remains protected from sediment.
Because the working system stays underground, a French drain can manage excess water without leaving bulky equipment in view. We finish the area with sod or decorative rock based on your landscape.
CDS Landscaping brings drainage knowledge and full-service landscape experience to properties throughout St. Petersburg and surrounding communities. From excavation through final restoration, we focus on a clean installation and a finished yard.
