Yard drainage in Seven Meadows
A master-planned community of more than 1,000 acres in Fort Bend County, off Seven Meadows Parkway, with lakes built into its layout. Lots here were shaped by the builder; most drainage complaints start with what has changed since.
How the Lot Was Meant to Drain
A production lot is shaped to shed water off the slab and toward the street in front and a swale along the back or side. The swale is often only a few inches deep. After the fence goes up, the beds get planted and a patio is added, that swale can disappear.
The walk-through here usually starts by finding the original path and asking what now blocks it.
- A fence bottom board sitting on the soil across the swale line.
- A patio extension poured across the side yard.
- Beds along the back fence that raised the low strip.
- An air-conditioning pad set in the side-yard channel.
Fort Bend Applies Here
Fort Bend County requires a permit for any change in elevation of six inches or more, for large fill or excavation, and for any work in the floodplain. Detention is typically required for new development in the county, which is part of why master-planned communities build lakes and basins.
This site found no published report of flooding naming Seven Meadows.
