Excavate French Drain Trench

What happens here

Using a mini excavator (Bobcat E325 is shown), dig a trench from the T-junction connection across the problem area of the yard. Maintain a consistent depth of about 1 foot, ensuring a slight downward pitch towards the existing drainage system for effective water flow. The mini excavator's bucket can be used to create the desired trench profile efficiently.

Goal: Create the trench for the French drain with the correct depth and slope.
