What happens here

After the initial shallow trench is dug, the mini excavator is used to deepen the trench to the required specifications. The trench is deepened to ensure adequate drainage and accommodate the drain system components. Once the trench is deep enough, a durable geotextile fabric is carefully unrolled and laid along the bottom and up the sides of the trench. This fabric acts as a barrier, preventing soil from mixing with the drainage gravel and clogging the system over time.

Goal: Create a deep trench and line it with fabric to prepare for the drainage system.

melt we started peeling back all the sod hopefully be able to lay that right back over the top just work our way back out and then we're going to Red Dig It Down Deeper put all our materials in and then go from there so sit back and enjoy three solutions well technically four but the fourth solution is the last and least solution so whenever we come into a wet yard we have three solutions that we always offer and the last solution that we typically will look at doing is interior drain tile and there's some companies that that's their first and only solution and I'm going to tell you why in this video we offer it as the last possible solution so let's dive in and see what we got cooking on today's [Music]
