French drain installation typically involves excavating a trench in the desired area, laying a perforated pipe within a gravel or rock bed, and covering it with additional gravel or soil to facilitate proper drainage. The process may also include grading the surrounding landscape to direct water flow toward the drain and ensuring proper outlet placement to prevent water pooling. Key details that help evaluate requests include the size and length of the drain, the type of soil and terrain, access to the site, and any existing drainage issues that need addressing. Clear communication about the scope, materials, and specific drainage goals is essential for accurate assessment and successful installation.
