French Drain Installation in Memphis, TN
French drains are one of the most effective solutions for correcting standing water, yard flooding, and pooling water after rain. A properly installed French drain redirects surface water away from low areas in your yard, helping restore usable lawn space and prevent ongoing saturation.
At Buena Vista Landscape, we install French drains for residential properties across Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, and nearby suburbs.
When a French Drain Is Needed
A French drain may be the right solution if you are experiencing:
Water pooling in low areas of your yard
Muddy sections that never fully dry
Water runoff collecting near patios or walkways
Poor drainage after heavy rainfall
These conditions can make outdoor spaces unusable and difficult to maintain.

Fabric wrap to prevent clogging

Notes from our happy clients
Real results and experiences shared by satisfied customers
Buena Vista provided efficient service, with timely and professional communication. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommended!
After moving out to East Memphis, I noticed that a lot of my neighbors had pretty decent, well watered lawns and that mine was worse for the wear. The previous owners didn’t have an irrigation system, and the grass was thin, weedy, sad, and sun burnt. After hand watering it and seeing little improvement, I called Manuel. He came over the same day and offered some great suggestions for improving my yard, which not only had the ailing lawn, but also water run off problems, erosion issues, and a few other things. In a short amount of time, and for a very fair price, Manuel and his team were able to address each issue as well as install what amounted to a new lawn (which came in beautifully) and a kickass irrigation system. If you’re looking for a company that knows what it’s doing and has your best interest in mind, you should definitely give Buena Vista Landscape a call. You’ll be glad you did.
Their crew was out in the neighborhood blowing and collecting leaves and offered to service my house while they were in the area for a very reasonable price. The crew did an excellent job and I would consider using their services again.
