French Drains from Yard Sharks
A French drain is used to intercept and move subsurface or accumulating water through a gravel-and-pipe drainage path. It is useful only when the site has an appropriate collection area, route, grade, and discharge point.
When this service is a good fit
- Persistent wet areas where subsurface drainage is appropriate
- Water collecting along lawn, bed, or structure-adjacent areas
- Drainage projects where a defined underground collection path is needed
How we scope the work
French drain design depends on trench route, grade, pipe and aggregate requirements, soil conditions, outlet location, utility conflicts, hardscape crossings, and restoration after installation. We scope those pieces together rather than treating trench length as the only factor.

Frequently asked questions
Will a French drain fix every drainage problem?
No. French drains are useful for specific water problems. Surface runoff, grading, downspouts, or an unsuitable outlet may require a different solution.
Where does the water from a French drain go?
The system needs an appropriate discharge point. The available outlet and grade are part of the site evaluation.
Does the yard have to be trenched?
Yes. A French drain requires an excavated path for the drainage assembly, followed by restoration according to the approved scope.
