How It Works
- 01
Site & Drainage Audit
We assess existing slope, drainage patterns, and clay soil conditions before designing your layout.
- 02

Install
Pavers, retaining walls, drainage systems, and softscape elements installed in sequence by one crew.

Walk Through
We verify drainage direction, wall alignment, and paver joints before final sign-off.
Hardscape & Softscape FAQs for Rowlett
Do you handle drainage issues on Rowlett properties near the lake?
Yes — lakeside properties in Rowlett frequently deal with drainage and erosion challenges. We design and install French drains, grading solutions, and retaining walls that address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What paver options work best for Rowlett's climate?
Concrete pavers and natural stone both perform well in Rowlett. We recommend sealing pavers every 2–3 years near the lake to protect against moisture infiltration and color fading from the intensified UV near the water.
Can you build a retaining wall near the lakeshore in Rowlett?
Yes — we've built retaining walls on lakeshore-adjacent properties. We account for erosion, drainage, and structural requirements specific to your elevation, exposure, and proximity to the water.
Client Experience
“Our backyard had three problems: no privacy, terrible drainage after every rain, and an ugly cracked concrete pad. i30 Builders fixed all three in one project. Cedar privacy fence along the back and sides, French drain running to the street, and a paver patio over where the old concrete was. They phased it correctly — drainage and grading first, fence second, pavers last. The yard doesn't flood anymore and we actually use the patio now. I've used a lot of contractors over the years and these guys are in the top tier: show up when they say, communicate what's happening, and actually clean up after themselves.”
