What happens here

To address the persistent flooding issues, a French drain is installed. This involves digging a trench along the fence line where water tends to accumulate. A pre-assembled French drain, consisting of a perforated plastic pipe encased in a filter fabric sock and surrounded by gravel, is laid into the trench. The trench is then carefully backfilled with soil.

Goal: Install a drainage system to prevent water accumulation.

Tools and materials

  • French Drain — The core component of the drainage system
