A French drain is a simple, time-honored method for redirecting water off your property.
Here's how it works:
A shallow trench is lined with fabric to block silt and filled with gravel.
Rainwater flows naturally into the trench, where gravity takes over, guiding water to a safe drainage spot like a swale, dry well, or garden.
For areas with heavy rainfall, we can add a perforated pipe beneath the gravel for even faster water diversion.
