How to DIY Install a French Drain | Rocks and Wrapping the Drain, Last Minute Corrections

This episode will cover reorganizing the catch basin locations, an overview of the final setup, burying the roof runoff and then wrapping the French Drain with fabric and filling with stones.
Follow me as I take a weekend to install a French Drain and Roof Runoff system on my new construction home. I will bring you along as I go thru every step of the 4-day process, from picking up material from French Drain Man, digging the trenches, layout of the system and why I decided on each component, to finishing and cleaning up the yard.

That stone is a round rock, and we use it all the time. Smaller stones provide a stronger foundation for many applications because they are so dense.

oooh great.. i thought I did it wrong.

[@fjculver4413]

Your property is perfect for this with the rapid elevation change from front to back. No time to absorb in one place as it all moves quickly with gravity to back yard. Great solution and great calorie burn. 💪

[@JaYoeNation]

yup!

[@bayareareefs8616]

That was a lot of work Matt . Looks good I know nothing about French Drains but now I do 👍🏽

[@JaYoeNation]

haha... good stuff... glad to show you

[@Burgermullo]

Well done

[@harbin88]

Interesting, first time see this type. I have the gutter cover on the roof.

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

Hello Matt. I have seen all your videos, and as an hydrogeological engineer I think you have good understanding og French Drain, but how are you going to isolate the drain against cold and freezing water? You may not have that much cold in winter. Best Regards Arne G from Norway

[@JaYoeNation]

we have ice... the frost line is very deep so i am sure there will be freezing... should be ok thougn.

[@TravelingTice]

Didn't know you could make 1.7K videos about French drains 🤣

[@JaYoeNation]

I KNOW RIGHT!!!

[@raymondlianto9882]

Congrats Matt ypu finished the job.

[@JaYoeNation]

yea.. it was a good process

[@imlon2]

make sure you give yourself about 2-3" above the lines you ran or in the heat of the summer the grass will dry out there. Learn that the hard way. I have about 20' run every year the grass browns out and dies because i needed to go just a little deeper.
