French Drain for Do It Yourself Project - by Apple Drains, Charlotte NC

http://www.AppleDrains.com Gravel by The Bag solves this Yard Drain Problem. This project could be done by the Home Owner in about 3 hours. Tools needed are shovel and wheel barrel. The material can be found at your local home store. The most important thing here is buy enough gravel to competely cover the pipe.

This trench is about 30 feet and we used 20 bags of Drainage Rock.

We have window wells that often flood during heavy downpours, water comes into the well from the sides of the window wells, we think it is because water comes from neighbors yard and saturates area near the windows, and their property right next to that side is higher than our property due to their brick driveway. Would a french drain on that side of the house help funnel that water away from basement windows and down to the street?

Catch basins are also key to pick up the surface water
