1 of 2 projects that we were on today. This one was in Olin Iowa. This job included some light grading, installing 4 underground downspouts.
We installed a clean out by the house for easy access to the pipe and turned the last few feet into a French drain to allow the water to fully empty out of the pipe, that way there is no freezing issues in the winter.
Once we install the rock for the French drain section and backfill the pipe with dirt, well install the sod back on top, making it look like we were barely there. Takes more time and clean up, but is the right and best way of doing it.
