About Scag Scapes LLC
Finished Baton Rouge backyard with cedar fence, sod, and landscape beds by Scag Scapes

Where engineering precision meets craftsmanship

Scag Scapes LLC is owned and operated by Charlie Mascagni — a civil engineering graduate holding both landscape and irrigation contractor licenses in Louisiana. That technical foundation is what separates us: every French drain is designed with 3D elevation data, proper grading calculations, and Louisiana-specific drainage engineering built in from the start.

We specialize in French drain installation for Baton Rouge's challenging clay soils and high water table. Using professional 3D elevation mapping, we engineer precise drainage solutions — not guesswork. We also build cedar fences, hardscapes, and complete outdoor renovations across Greater Baton Rouge including Zachary, Denham Springs, Prairieville, Central, and Baker, LA.

French Drain Engineering

3D elevation mapping —
not guesswork

Most drainage contractors in Baton Rouge eyeball your yard and dig. We use Moasure professional 3D elevation technology to build a complete contour model of your property — mapping every low point, slope, and flow path before a single shovel hits the ground.

Every French drain proposal includes a full-color aerial overlay with exact drain routes, downspout tie-ins, and elevation contours color-coded by water flow direction. You see the engineered plan before you sign.

French Drain FAQ

Common questions about
French drains in Baton Rouge

How much does a French drain cost in Baton Rouge?
French drain costs in the Baton Rouge area typically range from $25 to $60 per linear foot depending on depth, pipe diameter, soil conditions, and whether the drain ties into an existing stormwater system. Scag Scapes provides free on-site estimates with 3D elevation mapping so you know exactly what's needed before any work begins. Call 225-241-3069 for a free consultation.
Why do I need a French drain in Baton Rouge?
Baton Rouge's clay-heavy soils, flat terrain, and high annual rainfall (over 60 inches per year) mean water doesn't drain naturally from most yards. Standing water, soggy spots, and foundation erosion are common throughout neighborhoods in Baton Rouge, Zachary, Denham Springs, and Prairieville. A properly engineered French drain intercepts subsurface water and redirects it to a discharge point, protecting your home and yard.
What is 3D elevation mapping for French drains?
3D elevation mapping uses Moasure professional survey technology to create a detailed contour model of your yard's terrain. This reveals low points, flow paths, and slope gradients invisible to the naked eye. Scag Scapes uses this data to engineer precise French drain routes — ensuring water flows where it should, not where it shouldn't. Every estimate includes a full-color aerial overlay of the proposed drain layout.
Do you install French drains in Zachary, Denham Springs, and Prairieville?
Yes. Scag Scapes serves all of Greater Baton Rouge including Zachary, Denham Springs, Prairieville, Central, Baker, and Gonzales, Louisiana. Every French drain estimate includes a free on-site visit with 3D elevation mapping and an aerial drain layout — no matter where you are in the service area.
How long does a French drain installation take?
Most residential French drain installations in Baton Rouge take 1–3 days depending on the length of the run, soil conditions, and whether the project includes sod restoration. Scag Scapes handles everything from excavation to backfill, gravel, pipe installation, and final grading — so your yard is restored when we leave.
