Reply to How to fix this rock "trench" in my yard? by putriidx

  • Get a pipe that that isn't cut in half.
  • Dig the rocks up, shake them off, and put them in buckets.
  • Check the whole is deep enough, dig down if not. Probably want 6-8" at 15 degree slope to exit
  • use water to wash your rocks, the dirt, dust, and fines can clog your cloth and youre in for real work ahead, so might as well do it the best you can.
  • lay down the magical cloth, pack it a bit, and confirm the grade to the exit.
  • put down an inch or two of rock and compact. Lay your pipe. He he... Check the grade, this is the last easy chance.
  • pack in rock, firmly, around the pipe, don't crush the pipe.
  • firmly add an inch over the pipe, add another layer of magical cloth.
  • add the rest of your rock over the top cloth. Compact every inch. Be careful until the rock can protect the drain tile pipe.
  • drink
