French Drain Installation
Flat yards with no slope are at a disadvantage as the movement of water through the earth is minimal and heavy rainfalls cause pooling, even up to flooding levels. The movement of sub-surface water can be increased by intercepting and diverting its flow through a drainage system embedded in narrow trenches, sometimes called a French drain.
A French Drain is a process where we cut an individual slot with a trencher and use a fabric covered rigid drain tile vertically or horizontally to intercept water and divert it to a more desirable location. Many golf courses and farmers use french drains and sub-surface drainage to facilitate water away or to greens, fairways and farms. We install many French Drains to drain standing water in your yard. French drains are a time proven system for diverting excess water.
The earliest forms of French Drains were simple ditches, pitched from a high area to a lower one and filled with gravel. Today, specialized drain tiles are designed with perforations or holes to admit water. To prevent clogging gravel is placed around the perimeter of the perforated drain pipe to give water a path to the drain tile as well as filter soil particles. A French drain can be covered over with sod after installation, making them less conspicuous.
French drains are very effective and often referred to as… blind drain, rubble drain, rock drain, drain tile, perimeter drain or land drain. Trench is covered with gravel or rock that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. When installed correctly and applied to correct situations they can handle vast quantities of water for many years. Trench covered with gravel or rock that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area.
