We plan drain routes based on where water collects and where it can safely go.
Fabric, clean gravel, and quality pipe keep drains flowing for years.
Most French drains are installed in one to two days.
Clay drains slowly, so water often sits in low spots or along foundations. French drains collect that water and move it before it can soak in and cause swelling. In many Castle Rock yards, that water would otherwise sit against the foundation for days after a storm.
Water needs a safe place to go, like a lower area of your property, a dry well, or a daylight outlet. We avoid sending water onto neighbors or across sidewalks.
Lots below open space or neighboring yards often get runoff from above. A drain along the uphill side can intercept it. Water from open space can arrive fast during summer thunderstorms, carrying soil with it, so the drain needs to be sized to handle those bursts without overflowing.
French drains pair with dry wells and yard drainage correction for larger problems.

We assess water flow and plan the drain route and outlet.
We dig the trench, add fabric, pipe, and gravel, and connect to the outlet.
We backfill, restore the surface, and test the flow.
