Drainage Is a Design Decision
In North Texas's climate — characterized by intense rain events, expansive clay soil, and significant temperature variation — drainage planning is one of the most important aspects of any pool project.
A pool and deck system that doesn't account for drainage creates problems: water that pools near the house foundation, soil erosion around the pool structure, and saturation that affects the expansive clay soils underneath.
Mike integrates drainage planning into every pool project design. It's not an afterthought — it's part of the site assessment and design process.
- Deck drainage slope: minimum 1/4 inch per foot away from pool and house
- French drains or channel drains at deck perimeter prevent surface water accumulation
- Soil saturation from poor drainage accelerates clay expansion — affects pool structure
- Downspout routing must be considered relative to pool and deck placement
- Drainage design affects long-term soil stability around the pool
- Mike assesses drainage conditions as part of every lot assessment
