Default French Drain Project.

Here's pics of my latest project. In order to cut off some of the water coming off the hill towards my house, I dug a trench 12" wide by aprox 150' or so. It ranges in depth from 20" to 40" obviuosly sloping toward the rear of the house. I used 1 4" perf. pipe wrapped in a sock that ran the length of the ditch in a bed of #57 river gravel about 3-4" deep. I covered the pipe with the #57 gravel to within 1-2 inches of the original grade. Here's some pictures hope it's not boring. The NH TC24DA and 756C hoe saved a lot of work!
