Having a French drain dropped into the easily dug sand often costs in the neighborhood of a hundred bucks. There are many advertisers on this Forum who can solve your drainage problems. My advice? Get three estimates from people that friends or neighbors have used. Check them out at Seniors Vs. Crime if you are unsure of them.
