Trench Drains

When used in landscaping trench drains can be cast in place using concrete or, as we typically do,  purchase a prefabricated trench drain and install it. Trench drains have a grated covering which is installed flush with the ground so they can capture the water but not become clogged with debris.

Benefits of Trench Drains

Like french drains, trench drains soul purpose is to collect and redirect water away from your property. Trench drains are exspecially effective when used to divert water away from garages and other building entrances where grading would otherwise be difficult.
