FRENCH DRAIN

French, Trench, Filter & Land Drain

One of our more popular drain styles is a French drain. The French drain goes by other names such as trench drain, filter drain, and land drain. The French drain consists of a trench around the property, filled with gravel (or a perforated pipe) and then re-covered. This creates a new path for surface water such as rain and snow runoff to go. If water pools in your backyard, a French drain will direct the drainage to different areas of the property, away from the yard.
