Enclose Drainage Layer and Backfill Trench

What happens here

Once the gravel is in place, carefully fold the excess geotextile fabric over the top of the gravel. This action completely encloses the gravel and pipe, creating a 'burrito' that prevents soil and other debris from migrating into the drainage layer and clogging the system over time. After the fabric is wrapped, backfill the remainder of the trench with the excavated soil. This will conceal the drainage system and allow for surface landscaping, making it totally hidden. Ensure the soil is evenly distributed and compacted lightly to prevent settling, but avoid excessive compaction that could impede surface water infiltration.

Goal: Complete the drainage system by enclosing it and covering it with soil.
