Erosion Control

Erosion Control

A homeowner’s front beds were being eroded by outflow from a second story downspout. We dug out an area under the downspout and sank two french drain sections to collect the water. The water is then diverted into a second underground pipe to allow the water to percolate under the front lawn.

At the surface, a set of plastic grates were installed, and will be filled with a crushed stone of the homeowner’s choice (the homeowner chose to do this step on their own).
