About French Drain Gravel projects

French drains capture and redirect subsurface water using a stone-filled trench containing a perforated pipe. The system moves water away from structures through gravity flow and the permeability of quality crushed stone.

How a french drain gravel project goes

1. Quantify your stone needsGet your trench dimensions: length, width, and target depth. Feed these measurements into the calculator tool to receive your precise #57 Crushed Stone tonnage for the full French drain installation.
2. Identify your drainage outletDecide where collected water will discharge away from your foundation. Your outlet point must be at a lower elevation than your drain, such as a downhill daylight exit, storm drain tie-in, or sump pump release.
3. Open the trenchRemove soil to form your trench with a consistent downhill flow toward the outlet. Keep the bottom flat or gently descending. Standard residential depth is 12 to 18 inches below grade.
4. Install pipe, stone, and fabricPosition the perforated pipe, then surround it with 3 to 4 inches of #57 Crushed Stone on every side. Apply landscape fabric across the top to prevent soil and roots from clogging the stone. Backfill.
5. Monitor performanceCheck how your completed drain handles the next significant rainfall or spring snowmelt. Dry conditions above the drain indicate success. Standing water or wet patches suggest outlet repositioning may be needed.
