How to install a French drain.

When installing a French drain yourself, or hiring a contractor, its important to follow these two simple rules to achieve good water flow and infiltration.

Be sure to maintain proper slope of 1% throughout your landscape drainage system. Proper slope will allow the French drain to quickly drain and remove water from the area that needs to be drained.

Soil on site will help determine best French drain installation practices for your landscape drainage project. To ensure good water movement into the drainage system make sure to remove heavy clay soils and backfill the French drain with a more permeable backfill - such as filtered top soil, sand, or washed gravel.

We use NDS drainage products for all our storm water management systems.
