French Drain & Yard Drainage in Winter Springs, FL
Standing water, soggy yards, and flooding that gets worse every storm in Winter Springs? LES designs and installs french drains and complete drainage systems built to move water before it becomes damage.
Why Winter Springs Yards Flood
Winter Springs took some of the worst flooding in Seminole County during recent hurricanes, with neighborhoods near Lake Jesup and the Gee Creek basin holding water long after the storm passed. If your yard or slab flooded then, storm season is coming back around and the fix is a lot cheaper than the repair.
A lot of Winter Springs homes sit in low basins that fill from both the sky and rising groundwater when Lake Jesup backs up. LES designs drainage that accounts for both — pulling surface water off fast and giving it a pitched outlet that still functions when the whole area is saturated.
Trouble spots we get called to most: Tuscawilla, Highlands, Oak Forest, and the neighborhoods along Gee Creek and the Lake Jesup shoreline.
Signs You Need Drainage
Fix It Before the Next Winter Springs Storm
- Standing water that lingers a day or more after rain
- Soggy, spongy spots in the lawn that never dry out
- Water seeping into a garage, slab, or crawlspace
- Mulch and soil washing out of your beds every storm
- Water pooling against the foundation or driveway
- The same low spot flooding every single storm
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.
Owner-operated by Michael Feltner, Owner-Operator— on every job, not a subcontractor.

Winter Springs Drainage FAQ
My Winter Springs house flooded in the last hurricane — can drainage prevent it next time?
Drainage can't stop a record flood, but for the far more common storm-season standing water and slow-draining yards, a properly designed french drain and regrade dramatically cuts how much water reaches the house and how long it sits.
Do you work near Lake Jesup where the ground stays wet?
Yes. Near Lake Jesup we size systems to the high seasonal water table and pitch them to an outlet that keeps working when the area is already saturated, rather than a deep trench that just fills with groundwater.
Get ahead of storm season in Winter Springs.
Send your address and a photo or two of where the water sits — LES will assess the property and quote the fix, typically within one business day.
