My yard in town has developed a water issue. Long story short, neighbor built up his drive and water turned onto me. City is of little help. Is there a product made where I can dig a trench to run to the ditch at driveway tile , and it have a grate over the top. Water isn't a problem until it is a heavy steady rain. There was a ditch-drain between us before, but the driveway on their side eliminated that. Any suggestions ? UI want to stop turn the water cheapest way possible, that looks good and safe.Thanks tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| Go French Drain. Perforated tile, inside a Clean Stone(Think river rock NO Sand) under a sod layer to a outfall and a entry grate above the rock layer near to where it starts to accumulate. |

Drill a test hole, and see what the soil layers look like. I've installed these, with great success: [TUBE]EojkMHLaKig[/TUBE] ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Dave, I think that might work. I was thinking of a u channel shape with a grate over the top. I would put it beside his drive and run it to ditch. Then water would head its natural course. At times it can be quite a bit of water to carry. I thought 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Grate over the top, so I can walk or drive over it.

How about just drafting the water with a big pump to an irrigation gun and send it back to the neighbors yard where it came from

even easier... build up YOUR driveway HIGHER than neighbours....  when the City repaved our road it was 8 inches HIGHER than original grade('engineers' didn't use ANY measuring devices...) so city paid to have 1/2 my driveway redone but of course water goes north NOT south, so neighbour gets all my water. seeing how I'm the 'neighbour to the north' I installed 400' of 4" weeping to kinda remove the water. I was 'wishing' city would supply and install 40' of 12" culvert, even just the materials... oh well...I'l keep dreamin.... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

I was wanting to be civil about the process, but it might go south. I am going to contact the city engineer, and see what options I have. Thanks Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |
