Thread: French Drains

    French Drains

    Anyone have any advice i.e.: depth, width? Need to cut a couple into the yard to tie into a larger one installed by the builders that runs through my back yard.

    You're draining your backyard? I've done a couple, and I just used that 4" corrugated stuff. And unless you're using one to drain your foundation, they don't really need to be all that deep, just enough to get them below the surface and slope them properly.

    When putting in that perforated pipe, be sure to put the holes pointed down.

    Wrap you stone in filter fabric and wrap the pipe was well.

    PM me if you want help with dimensionals for your required use.
