Default Landscaper to install a French drain

Does anyone recommend a company that could install a French drain in a back yard? Also, do some sodding in an area as needed?

Joe - depending on how long you've been in your home you might be able to go to the developer and ask they correct the situation.

Am I suppose to just read this, and act like I know what a French drain is?? Ok, I'm going to ask, even if sounds duh!!!! LOL Could you please tell me what a French drain is? I'm guessing its a drain that comes down, but then is turned back toward the growing area? Maybe I'm not even close!!! I can take it like a man, throw it at me!! hehehehehehe

It is not a job for an ordinary landscaper, U want to talk to tri-County, they did mine under warrantee and knew how to do it right.

A French drain moves water away from a clay base area where flooding occurs,

Do a search under my name & French I posted pics

If your home is still under the 1 year warranty, contact the warranty dept about this. They should fix this problem.

I agree. Call warranty first even if you are past a year.
