Trenching and drainage

Trenching and drainage involve creating sloped channels (trenches) to collect and redirect surface water, using systems like trench drains (grated channels) or buried pipes called French drains to manage runoff, prevent flooding, and control erosion, requiring careful planning for slope, material selection (concrete, polymer, steel), and connection to an outlet, ensuring proper grading and regular maintenance for effective water removal from hardscapes, driveways, and landscapes.
