Drainage ditch ........

 

One of my lawn customers had a request for me to put in a drainage ditch above a flower bed which was on a hillside. Whenever a down pour came the water from the neighbor on the hill would come under the fence and wash all the mulch out of the bed and into the grass. With all the recent rain we've had this was a Hassle.

 

Here is the area of future drainage ditch

Now with the ditch dug and the excess dirt mounded on the opposite side to help form a barrier.

 

Next was the laying of some drainage rock to go under the perforated(holes) black drain pipe.

With the pipe laid in place.....

 

 

Next some decorative rock was put on top to give it a more finished look it would look better with more river rock filling in all the way to the fence but this is more cosmetic and up to the homeowner if she wants more filled in, then the weed mat was put back into place.

After some clean up and covering the new dirt mound with mulch we were ready for business, which came as daddy Dave was leaving(down pour). From the front the ditch isn't even visible
