Simple...
Dig down 1'
Lay down washed stone
Lay down perforated drain pipe
Lay down top coat of washed stone
Cover with dirt

Optional : If the drain is around a wall then add a layer of Visqueen plastic against the wall prior to the base layer of stone



I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin
Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...
