My French drain was hand dug two foot wide and three foot deep. They went down deep enough to to get to sandy dirt and took a large trailer load of clay out of the ditch. Clay will not drain water. They connected the downspout to the underground black pipe that runs between the houses to the curb.
We all know how muc rain we've had the last three weeks and the drain worked just fine.
Tracy at Lanscape Productions did mine. 352-390-7135
