FAQ’s

Will a French drain fix standing water in my yard?

In most cases, yes—when properly sloped with a good discharge point. We may combine with regrading or catch basins for best results.

Where does the water go?

To a daylight outlet, pop-up emitter, or approved swale. We size routes to handle Gulf rain events safely.

Can you tie in my gutter downspouts?

Absolutely. Downspout tie-ins reduce roof runoff pooling near foundations and fence lines.

How deep/wide is the trench?

Depth and width vary by design, but we commonly install 8–18 in. deep with proper gravel bedding and fabric.

Will the drain clog?

Our systems use filter fabric + washed gravel to minimize sediment intrusion; basic seasonal checks keep flow clear.

How long does installation take?

Most residential systems install in 1–2 days, depending on length, depth, and site access.

Can you hide the drain line?

Yes—replace sod for an invisible look or finish with decorative rock for low maintenance.
