French Drains

French drains are a type of subsurface drainage system designed to redirect water away from problem areas, such as around foundations, along slopes, or in low-lying areas prone to flooding. A French drain consists of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects and channels water away from the site. This technique is essential in preventing water damage to structures, reducing soil erosion, and maintaining the stability of landscapes. French drains are commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping projects to manage excess water effectively and prevent issues related to poor drainage.
