Four Decades of Drainage Expertise

About Us

Built on Four Decades of Experience

Scott Lockhart Drainage Contractor was founded in the early 1980s by Jeffrey Scott Lockhart, a drainage specialist with a deep understanding of Texas soil, terrain, and water behavior. What started as a local contracting operation in Austin has grown into a full-service drainage and stormwater management company with over 10,000 completed projects.

Scott's approach combines decades of field experience with a commitment to sustainable solutions. From designing French drain systems for homeowners dealing with standing water to engineering detention ponds for commercial developments, every project reflects the same hands-on attention to detail.

The company also pioneered rainwater collection in Texas through Rain Harvest LLC, founded in 1996 and recognized as the first rainwater collection design-build company in the state. That same forward-thinking approach to water management runs through every drainage project the team takes on.

Today, Scott Lockhart Drainage Contractor serves residential, commercial, and municipal clients throughout Texas, bringing the same expertise and reliability that has defined the business for over four decades.
