Yard French Drains
Intercept subsurface water in persistently wet landscape areas.
A French drain works only when water has a clear place to enter the drain and a safe place to discharge. Grade and outlet matter as much as the pipe.
A few details are enough to get the conversation started.

Intercept subsurface water in persistently wet landscape areas.
Improve drainage near foundations where site conditions allow an exterior collection route.
Intercept uphill groundwater before it reaches a lower yard or structure.
Plan gravity discharge, daylight outlets or other lawful termination points for collected water.
Build a permeable trench around appropriately sized drainage pipe and aggregate.
Determine whether a French drain, surface drain, grading or another solution best matches the water problem.
French drains can intercept water moving through soil, relieve wet edges and help manage problem areas, but they are not a universal fix for every drainage complaint. The source of water, soil, elevation and available outlet should be reviewed before excavation.

Quick answers to the questions customers usually ask first.
It collects water moving through soil and carries it through a gravel-filled trench and perforated pipe toward an outlet.
It may help when groundwater is the cause, but surface grading or catch basins may be more appropriate for runoff pooling on top of the ground.
A drain needs an appropriate discharge point. The outlet and elevation should be planned before the trench is installed.
Depth depends on what water is being intercepted, site elevations and the required pitch to the outlet.
Exterior foundation drainage is possible in some conditions, but excavation depth, waterproofing and structural considerations need to be evaluated.
Photos during or after rain, the wet area, slopes and any possible discharge locations are especially useful.
