Driveway Drainage Assessment and Solution Proposal

• 0:00 - 0:24 Alright, I'm up here with Barbara it Wedgewood Drive and she's obviously got a drainage issue down here at the bottom. She also wants to get that Boulder moved and these Boulders moved and these are going to go over there in the grass by the truck. This is a really nice drainage ditch to keep the drainage of this Road off of her. So we want to maintain this and keep this nice.

• 0:25 - 0:54 We're going to clean this mud and rode base off of this concrete by taking the grading blade. Amen, Joe we're going to take the grating blade and back-drag this and get this nice and clean and then we'll take flat shovels and we'll throw and brooms and we're going to get this concrete nice and beautiful clean. Then we're going to go ahead and verify.

• 0:55 - 1:24 At this elevation here, we can already see that the water is there and not here so we know that this is higher than that, but we're going to verify that there's no bellies in this concrete and we're just going to clean this and have this concrete be are drained. It's going to go right to here where we're going to dig down essentially 12 8 inches or so, and then we'll have less gonna go down 12 inches here and then we'll.

• 1:25 - 1:54 I'll have our mouths of our of our drain pipe down at the bottom and we'll do that with rock right here and we'll cover this with rock then so we're going to have a 12 inch trench. I don't know exactly what elevation with the beginning of the pipe will have to give that some thought maybe six inches, but I do want to have a nice cover layer on it and I want to have this water be able to get into the pipe. So we're going to find that elevation make it just right but we're going to do generally speaking a 12 inch deep.

• 1:55 - 2:24 Trench right along these raspberries like this. It's going to be 12 inches wide and it's gonna come to the end over here at which point I would like for this to essentially be flat on the bottom and create a basin. We're going to clean the bottom of this trench really nice with hand tools first. We're going to pull back all this road base and get it down to the dirt that's below the road base so that we can regrade this when we're done and reuse this and then we'll go ahead and put our.

• 2:25 - 2:54 Our spoils over on the concrete during construction and then we'll probably go ahead and add them when we're done up to the to that berm up there to maintain that drainage up there and keep that road. That's a little Dyke up there that will put the spoils from this trench up there. And then we're going to go ahead and line the trench. We're going to clean it up real nice with weed fabric the elevation and then is going to about right here.

• 2:55 - 3:22 Going to raise up four inches essentially and then it's going to spill over into their so most of the water is going to sit in the bottom of this trough and soak in we're going to have our and then the big rain events will fill this trough and then the excess water is going to flow over the edge out basically right at that bush is where our pipe will terminate.

• 3:23 - 3:52 So we're going to hand dig through here to get that pipe in the ground and see if we can't preserve these and we're going to try to keep our dirt clean by bringing some plywood will actually bring a couple of sheets of plywood and put them here and we'll put all of our spoils on here. I don't want to mess up any of this landscape because it's all well done. We don't want to redo it. So we're going to keep it clean and tidy then so back to this trench once we get this.

• 3:53 - 4:08 Really clean and beautiful. We're going to go ahead and line this trench with weed fabric from Mak you with our weed fabric and then we're going to put our four inch corrugated perforated pipe that runs this full length here and then it will raise up and go out into there. • 4:11 - 4:40 Then we're going to fill this trench with River Rock. We have gravel. We have River Rock gravel in our yard. We're going to wash it first so that it doesn't have any mud or fines on it. So that this trench last for a really long time and this river rock is going to be about let's see. How many linear feet is this going to say? It's 1 2 3 6 7.

• 4:41 - 5:10 Nine, ten eleven pieces 33 feet x 3. It's going to be three cubic feet basically a yard and a half of river rock gravel going out to their a little bit of 33 feet of weed fabric and 33 feet of inch of 4-inch corrugated pipe, and we're going to bring the gravel all the way to the surface so that for a visual cue that there's a drain under there and everyone who's servicing this drive.

• 5:10 - 5:37 Hue or remember that there's something different there and Barbara can also pointed out and we'll come basically right to the an inch below this top of edging here with our gravel and then it'll gradually slope down towards this natural grade. That's pre-existing and that is the long and short of it and we'll give this a nice little back dragon and great out when we're done upon our exit rake out any tracks and make it all beautiful and Barbara's happy.
