Installed a couple of yard drains at Diamond DirtWorx Solutions HQ recently!
We had cut a swale in last year to help divert surface water from the garage foundation walls, but when a heavy rain event would take place it was cutting a deep rut in the swale. So we decided to install a couple of yard drains to assist with diverting the surface runoff water down into the underground 6” drainage tile that drains into the woods. We then built up berms around the two drains to direct the water into the inlets, spread some new topsoil, then graded everything out smooth, then seeded the area and put down straw blanket and straw to help the grass establish and slow erosion. Looking forward to seeing the grass take root and establish hopefully before cold weather arrives.
