This is a cheap DIY french drain project for any homeowner needing an easier yard drainage solution.

This is the third drainage project I have completed on the channel now and I believe this is probably the most common/traditional way of completing this job. For this project I did not use geotextile fabric but believe we still achieved great results that will last. The use of the trencher greatly decreased the amount of time the project took to complete. I’m not sure digging all of this would have been possible given how hard the ground was.

If you have any questions please let me know in the comments

    That peg board idea is a real winner. Anyone who has ever shoveled much gravel will agree.

    Great video Ryan i watched the last few of your videos. Great Job! I am about to start a project at my mothers house i was wondering if there is a way i can send you some pics to know where to start. There's an obvious area the French drain needs to be positioned.

    Chuck The French Drain Man had used plastic sheet , cut it into smaller length, set alongside the path. After digging, lift the sheet at four corners to dispose dirt.
