- Easy DIY Yard Drainage System
We did a demonstration to show you guys how to install a yard drain works. It's super easy - no tools required. We have two lines to represent a flat yard with no slope. An orange line represents your Turf. We did is we came up with a system to where you can add slope with no tools.

You are doing homeowners a great service. Information packed videos, great products with new technology at a fair price, and tutorials on how to use and install said products. Saving homeowners thousands of $$ and restoring their pride in teaching them how to do it themselves.
Videos with tests and results speak for themselves. And no disrespect to other TH-camrs, but I appreciate that you don't cut corners to save a buck. No one wants to re-dig a trench because of a shitty DIY coupler that failed. You've put the information out there, it's up to the homeowner to decide if they want to tackle the job or pay someone at least double to do a job that might not even work as good.
Well deserved success for all your time and effort that goes into videos and products. Thanks, pal.
I appreciate that.
The slope thing is genius
You fellows should franchise. The need for Drain contractors in Oregon is huge, massive.
No franchise. We are trying to get contractors who use our products connected with homeowners in their area.
Have anyone on the East Coast yet?
Bought and sold, these last 2 winters have hit my yard with intense rain. I don't have the the funds to hire a contractor to do this since I am in the middle of remodeling so I'll definitely have to buy this system once I do my measurements. You're doing home owners a service pal!
Thank you 😊

... remember with this global warming it is going to rain harder, longer and more often too ...
Awesome explanation and video of what people don't see of these systems Underground keep up the great footage 💪
I love the work you shared and you for explaining this so frequently. I am going to do our industrial manufacturing building in Illinois and will be contacting you in the future for a lot of product. Your guys are great and your success is a testament to your efforts!!
Good illustration. I just did a quote where this will work perfectly. I’ll share this video with my Client. We’re very busy here in “Duuval” County, FL thanks to your design ideas and product innovations. The torrential rains are definitely working in our favor AND we are Expecting up to four inches of rain this weekend. Yeah!
Sounds like job security. 💪
Wow... Ingenius !!!
👍 Thanks for the tips - n - insight 👍
love the simplicity of your design
can you vaccuum out the sedement with a shop vacuum, if yes, does it have to be a super strong shop vac
We use a small rigid shop vacuum
Always good info just wonder why some have a hate on corrugated pipe and insist on pvc which comes apart and splits
I did another video with PVC. It will be edited and out soon.
Great video. What is the minimum slope one can get using this system? What slope (rise/run) do you show in this video? I think you said 20" vertical drop. What was the horizontal distance?
1 1/2"% slope if basins are 8ft apart. I will have more videos
Stay Tuned!
This is amazing!
Greta video! Should you always line the BOTTOM of your catch basin with the amount of 1" to 1 and a half inch rocks as could be seen in the video?

Have a guy in your state. Call our main office 248-505-3065
Hi Robert, are the push-pin connections to the catch basins permanent or could I disconnect if I made a mistake or if I needed to go back and modify the system later? Thx.
very cool
We are about to landscape our front yard and we have a negative slope where the street is higher than the house. I’m planning a dry river bed with a French drain and most of the yard will be landscaped with rocks and boulders and heat hardy plants. We live on Toledo Bend in East Texas. Do you have any suggestions for someone in my area who can do this for us? Thanks for your time! I love watching your videos and have definitely learned a lot!
Call the office 248-505-3065 and see if our Texas guys are near you.

I have a clay yard in Louisiana and along our fence line holds a lot of standing water between us and my neighbor that stays soggy, should I do just yard drains or a French drain yard drain combo?
Absolutely!
If shipping didn't cost so much. That's surely the way I would go.
Thank you for your comments and for sharing. The general consensus is that the shipping cost is a small price to pay to ensure that you will never have to do it again.
You have to place a value on your time. It is the one commodity you cannot make more of.
I use a lot of your ideas 💡 at my house. Great advice
Where do I get one of those hats?
Thank you 😊
Pardon my novice knowledge but will this also work for a downspout drain with a popup at the end? And if so, is a catch basin with riser required every 12 feet? My fear is that by the time it gets to the popup, that popup will need to be pretty tall to reach daylight, correct? So if I could do the basins every 24 feet or something greater I would still get slope but just not quite as deep…is that problematic in any way?
No, do not run a downspout like this. Run it out to a pop-up even if the line is flat. You are better off than having one that is too deep.
What's the difference in a yard drain and a french drain? How do I know which one I will need? Thanks,Brian

💯 💪
I’m a novice which side gets the deepest basin? The area where the water is standing gets the shallowest basin?

I am doing off my gutter 30 inch slope down to the front of the proprety 500 ft but I am only going 50 ft to a drain fill pit of rocks that i collected from the property since 2004 and it was a hole in the yard 6tf deep and 20ft across by 50 ft long . My yard grows rocks , at least that is what I think . I have pitched the corrugated pipe towards it and last nights super heavy rain proved it worked . I but since i have slowly moved alot of rocks to pitch it I seem to not know should I just use an elbow and riser pipe and then push the rock back over it and put a drain cap on the top , before I fill it back in across the yard I wanted to make sure it ran out properly from the gutter downspout . All my other gutters are done since 2006 , but this one was moved after new gutters were put on . Went from 5 inch gutters to 6 inch gutters . It now has to go around my over 5000 thousand gallon koi pond . The new front porch build made everything move with the new gutters

So you never hook up a knife cut or hole cut blue drainage pipe to a catch basin correct? You want the water to flow away from the house and carry the water away.
It all depends on what you are trying to do. I have connected knife-cut pipe to a line of catch basins, but that would be because I am also using that pipe as a French drain.
I have a French drain puzzle. My existing French drain pipe at the front of the house works fine and it connects to a non-perforated pipe where it takes the water away to the side of the property. The pipe travels west while the ground level inclines so the pipe goes deeper and deeper underground to maintain the flow. The side of the property also needs a French drain, but the existing non-perforated pipe is buried almost four feet deep at this point--Is that too deep (and too much trouble) to convert to a French drain? Or should I use the same trench but just excavate it only a foot and add another perforated pipe two feet above and parallel to the nonperforated pipe. The perforated pipe would later connect to the lower pipe with a sharply descending connector pipe at the far side of the property where both pipes can empty together?
Sounds like you need this

I guess I should have said earlier that I didn't want to go through the trouble and expense of installing a sump pump because I'm not that sure how much extending the drain will really help--I just want to extend it mainly as a precaution.
I guess what's throwing me off is....I get how your setup works..but how far down do you dig first....
11" deep to start with first basin.
