Drainage Solutions
Standing water, soggy spots, washouts — graded, piped and fixed before the next big rain, not after it.

Eight things we do, and an honest cost guide for most of them. Start with the problem you actually have.
There is a version of this page that lists twenty services and tells you nothing. This is not that. Here is what we actually do, and — more useful — how to tell which one you need.
Most people call us describing a symptom, not a service. That is the right way round. Here is the translation:
| What you are seeing | What it usually is |
|---|---|
| Water standing in the yard two days after rain | Drainage correction — almost always a grade and conveyance problem, not a soil problem |
| Grass thin or bare in the same spots every year | Either sod over prepped soil, or a lawn care program — depends on whether the soil underneath is salvageable |
| Weeds winning, turf losing | Lawn care and maintenance — a mowing-only service will not fix this |
| Yard looks tired and you cannot say why | Landscape design — usually a structure problem, not a plant problem |
| Patio cracked, wall leaning, no usable outdoor space | Hardscape and patios |
| Trees overgrown, rubbing the roof, blocking light | Tree and shrub trimming |
| Dry patches, a head that will not shut off, a spiking water bill | Sprinkler and irrigation repair |
| Everything disappears at sundown | Landscape lighting |
If none of those quite fit, that is what the phone is for. Call (469) 400-9581 and describe it in your own words. We would rather spend five minutes working out what you need than sell you the wrong thing.
Almost every recurring yard problem in Denton County traces back to the same source. The Blackland Prairie and Eastern Cross Timbers soils under this area are expansive clays — they swell when wet, shrink when dry, and move a great deal in between. They also drain slowly, which is why a three-inch storm leaves standing water for days instead of soaking in.
That single fact explains an enormous amount:
We are not telling you this to sound technical. We are telling you because it is the reason a low bid and a fair bid can be two thousand dollars apart on the same job, and the entire difference is underground where you will never see it.
Most landscaping companies will not put a number anywhere near a website. We publish honest North Texas market ranges for most of what we do — what the low end genuinely buys you, what pushes a number up, and which add-ons people never see coming.
They are not our price list, because your yard is not a price list. They exist so you can walk into any estimate — ours or somebody else’s — knowing roughly what things cost and what should be in the scope.
You reach Justin — the owner — directly. No phone tree, no gatekeeping, no waiting on a callback.
Justin comes out, walks the property with you, and scopes the actual problem. Free, and specific to your yard.
The work gets done the way it was scoped. You pay when it’s finished and right.
Nothing gets ordered, dug or built before Justin has walked your property with you and you have agreed what the job is.

See the ranges →Both. Plenty of what we do is a single project — a drainage fix, a patio, a sod install — with no ongoing commitment attached. Lawn care is the one service that works best on a recurring schedule, because turf health depends on consistency more than on any single visit.
We work out of Double Oak and cover roughly fifteen miles around it. That reliably includes Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Denton, Argyle, Bartonville, Copper Canyon and Lantana. Outside that, call and ask — we travel for the right job, we would just rather tell you honestly whether we can service you well on a schedule.
A whole property is usually the better way to do it, because the order matters. Grading and drainage come first, then hardscape, then planting and sod, then lighting. Doing it in a different order almost always means tearing out something you already paid for. If the budget will not cover all of it now, we will phase it so the early work does not get wasted.
Semper Fi Landscape Solutions is a registered Texas LLC and carries insurance. On irrigation specifically, we stay in the repair and troubleshooting lane rather than making licensed-trade installation claims — more on that on the irrigation page.
