French Drain & Yard Drainage in Oviedo, FL
Standing water, soggy yards, and flooding that gets worse every storm in Oviedo? LES designs and installs french drains and complete drainage systems built to move water before it becomes damage.
Why Oviedo Yards Flood
Oviedo's rapid growth pushed a lot of homes onto former flatwoods and wetland-edge ground, where the water table sits high and flat lots barely shed. In a Central Florida downpour that adds up to standing water that lingers for days and beds that wash out every storm.
A flat lot with a high water table doesn't drain on its own — it needs a designed path. LES walks the property, finds the low points near the Little Econ and the newer subdivisions off Mitchell Hammock and Lockwood, and builds drainage that pulls the water off before it soaks in and sits.
Trouble spots we get called to most: Live Oak Reserve, Alafaya Woods, Kingsbridge, and the newer communities off Mitchell Hammock and Lockwood Road.
Signs You Need Drainage
Fix It Before the Next Oviedo Storm
- Standing water that lingers a day or more after rain
- Soggy, spongy spots in the lawn that never dry out

What We Install
Complete Drainage, Not Just a Trench
French drains
Perforated pipe in a gravel-wrapped trench that intercepts water and carries it away from the structure.
Catch basins & area drains
Collection points that pull standing water off low spots, patios, and turf before it pools.
Yard regrading
Reshaping grade so water sheds toward drainage instead of sitting against the home.
Downspout drainage
Piping roof water away from the foundation instead of dumping it at the base of the wall.
Why LES, Not a Landscaper
A Certified Stormwater Contractor — Not a Guy With a Trencher
Most drainage in Central Florida is done by landscapers and irrigation crews as a side service. LES is a GI-BMP certified, inspector-led stormwater and environmental contractor that reads how water actually moves across a site for builders, developers, and municipalities — and brings that same discipline to your yard. We diagnose why the water sits and size the fix to your actual soils, water table, and grade, so it still works in the next real storm.

Oviedo Drainage FAQ
Why does my flat Oviedo lot hold water so long?
Flat grade plus a high water table means surface water has nowhere to run and can't soak in fast enough. A french drain or catch-basin system gives it a designed low path off the lot instead of letting it sit and breed mosquitoes.
Do you handle HOA common-area drainage in Oviedo?
Yes. Beyond single yards, LES handles HOA common areas, retention edges, and the recurring drainage complaints that come with Oviedo's newer planned communities.
