Use more stone and an excavator to build the best French Drain, yard drain and dry wells

Build the Best French Drain and Dry WellsRemember, the more stone, the better the French drain. That’s why we remove all this dirt. Remove all this dirt and we want a nice flat sloped bottom to our trench. You don’t want to leave a high spot because in that way you’re going to end up with a damming effect and the water is going to stop and back up and your trench.

The details do matter. The more stone, the better the drain. That’s why we use a little mini excavator to remove the soil.  We ditch with a small excavator versus a trencher because a trencher doesn’t remove enough soil. The more stone, the better the perimeter French drain, the better that curtain French drain.
