Thanks for the video. Looks like you achieved your desired result. I also just completed a backyard drainage project with french drain and a sump pump . The whole process was a learning experience. I did lots of research, the french drain man and apple drains both have lots of great information.

May I ask why you decided to go with 2 different slope directions instead of 1? I really appreciate your videos! Thank you so much

Great video Hello from Hudson Valley NY! Quick question What type of gravel are you using? All purpose? My concern is drainage for the freeze / melt periods. Not draining quick enough and then freezing quickly , then heaving the corrugated pipe out of slope . Or solid pipe for that matter. Appreciate your input. Keep up the vids. (Subbed!) God bless

57 stone was the correct choice over the pea gravel

Why not try to find discharge by filling with your hose and if that fails have a plumbing company scope the system. Seems like the real lesson here is to make sure when you build and slope your patio it’s built high enough that the slope doesn’t drop below the grass.

is the paver base causing the drainage issue? it may block the drainage even if it has small holes.

Impressive! Does the french drain also handle the gutter downsput water at the one corner of the patio? - Greetings from Germany

Not good materials to use for a long term fix. Real cheap corrugated. Better to use PVC even though it costs a lot more. At the very least use a high quality corrugated.
