Personnelly I don’t like French drains, the pipes have holes in them to allow water to seep into ground or rock liner. If you have any shrubs or trees the roots head for the water source and in few years long after the installation the French drain turns into slow drain or plug up. Luckily mine are just drain pipes In my CYV running out to edge of street with grate covering the up pipe.
