I see this a lot in Macomb County where a tree that’s been growing for decades raises the lot, lifts the Earth to the point where it causes a drainage problem. This is the last house on the street. And these are older homes. Several of these lots, their watersheds, and drains through here. Right across the back of this yard and then over the sidewalk into a ditch. That’s the way it was designed, engineered, and intended. This tree, over time, several decades, has gotten so large, has raised the ground, raised the Earth to the point where It was so flat back here, the water couldn’t find its way out.

In the area where you see the gentlemen working on the French drain channel, the water would pool from that point to the telephone pole, and it just couldn’t find its way out of here. We’re giving it a clear path, we have an 18-inch deep 20-inch wide French drain channel of stone.
We’re giving it a clear path, we have an 18-inch deep 20-inch wide French drain channel of stone.We`re going to move the water so efficiently, it will be better than when these lots and homes were brand new. And we`re going to evacuate the water quickly before it can saturate the subsoil. Underneath the walk and out into the ditch. When evaluating water problems, make sure you take these types of things into account.

Either way, this had to be done because the whole yard is raised. It’s just not realistic to think you are going to come in here with a stump grinder and remove all the wood that’s in the ground here.
