question -- are you able to sod over a french drain? have my piping and geo textile drainage non-woven fabric on the way, going to wrap the whole system like in your videos, but am I able to leave the trench a couple inches below grade, add some top soil and new sod, or no? Thanks for the informative videos!
Only with our Fabric and I will do a video for you explaining why
you can... But heres the catch, your soil type and grade. You will signifiactly reduce the collection rate in certain circumstances and risk water "jumping" over the drain if flowing fast enough
If you found this video helpful and or informative please give us a thumbs-up 👍 it is motivation to make more videos!! ✌
Great stuff! Quick question...I have river rock, roughly 2-3 inches each that I'm removing from flower beds. Is this kind of rock sufficient to put inside the fabric with the tile? Or does it HAVE to be smaller? Thank you!
I love this guy.
"If they say this, GET 'EM OFF YOUR PROPERTY!" Best.
I used both methods because of the soft soil. A french drain to help dryout the soil, and a surface drain to stop puddling near my gates. I like both systems.
How do you burrito wrap an open French drain ? Do all your French drains run to daylight ?
Great video, know anyone in Illinois as good as you?
Can you put more consulting packages up on your website? I am ready to buy one and I have called and emailed your office. They told me I just have to wait until more are added. Please add some more consulting packages to your website.
You should do a video clarifying your coverage area because most viewers are not in your area. Those same people would like to hear you speak of some sort of process to have the drain installed at their location.
Thanks, ❤ very much needed information, thank you sir for the help❤❤❤❤❤

Couldn't the soil's ability to intake water be calculated using Ksat values (including the sod). If I need to remove 134 GPM with a Ksat value of .4 to 1.4 inches per hour.... then I'd need **ft of french drain or **ft of open french drain.
So when you wrap the stone/pipe with the fabric you put stones on top of that then dirt then sod?
No more rocks after the wrap. Just dirt/sod.
I agree completely what you're saying if you're in a certain part of the country Texas surface boxes work well

So what if you wrap and backfill with rock, but also add something to catch surface water. Is it not a duel purpose system? So basically they have a proper french drain with a few inlets for surface water? Would a hybrid system like that not work?
I withdraw the question. You answer at 8:00 into video to share the trench but use separate pipe so handle surface water issues :-D
Glad i found your videos. I want to run a french drain and gutter line separately in the same trench and only gravel thanks to you.
Love the knowledge I've gained from watching many many many videos of yours. Now...I would like your thoughts on he geo textile fabrics. I've seen a video where it appears that it the geo textile fabric you are very high-on...doesn't absorb water quickly. So if we are installing a French drain like yours models...isn't the purpose to move water and to do it efficiently and quickly?
Thoughts?
Do you know of any contractors in Minnesota that you would recommend?
Alex, I am in the same boat in MN. I asked them and they dont have anyone.
Can a French drain be put around a foundation
Yes curtain french drain design pacifically for foundation problems you may have
Your videos are great. I need some advice on a slightly complicated situation I have that is causing big problems. I am in n idaho but noone here can give me a straight answer
In regions like Florida no French drain can keep up with mother nature. We get flash floods were a surface drain speeds up the process to take water away. I think all these pipes being installed should be atleast 12 inch diameter to keep up with these flash floods
Try one of his duplex sump pump systems with extra chamber length. Watch the video on it.
Ya just make a lovely river rock drainage trench-screw the pipes, just make a lovely working creek bed with plants. Zero maintainence, permanent and aesthetically pleasing. Switch to that!😍 Done right, it's gorgeous!
Until it gets compacted with dirt and you're back to square one. What if you don't want exposed rock?
The people that say clean the pipe out - how would you even do that? The cut holes in the pipe are what gets clogged. It's not like the pipe fills up with dirt and debris where a snake would do anything to it. The snake would spin and spin and never touch the dirt clogging the slits in the pipe, which is more on the outside than the inside.
Love seeing the failed Sanford N Son yard drains and the commentary on them! 🤣🤣🤣
IDK what that dude is doing with the money he makes. He uses all shitty equpt. he rents trenchers on the clients dime. He uses shovels when he can. Like wtf. Buy some nice shit, do it right, and call yourself a colleague. How hard is that?
Im in downriver michigan an im needing some help with installing a french drain do you know any worthy contractors in the area or i was thinking about doing it myself i watch your videos an i just need some help designing my system that will work best for my yard
Same here!!
Lot of hacks out there.
I wish you were in my area, I need a french drain but feel it is too big of a job for just me.
Dont agree, feel you need to caveat it by saying it depends on your location. A full drainage system can have both french drains and inlet basins. In heavy compacted soils that encounter large rainfalls often like in Texas good luck with a pure french drain system.

You need to watch more videos to understand the difference. Hope you not installing french drains with catch basin. Because you not installing a french drain you are installing a yard drain big facts
Stevie Wonder could see that's effed up, lol. What a shame 😔

I literally just had a drain company come over and they recommended a similar system you do but said because the grade was so poor and causing pooling in certain areas that three surface drains and the French drain would be needed. Would you ever do this if grade was terrible? th-cam.com/video/FKxvRsDYaBo/w-d-xo.html
@Austin
Watch my 2 videos on TH-cam How to combine a yard Drain with a French Drain. Also You Tube What is a blind inlet. Couple of my videos should pop.
