Thank you SummerNites. We will be able to do a follow up of this job in the spring. We completed this project in November when it was too cold for the grass to come in. We will reseed it an do a follow up once the grass comes in. This is a dry well though. All we can show is a lawn with no standing water or mud. I can't show a pipe with water coming out like some channels do. All the rain water goes underground. I do appreciate your feedback. Have a great evening, Tom
@tyelandscapinganddrainage 😂😂😂 so true, there is no pipe releasing water 🤦🏾♀️ ok, maybe just a non flooded lawn will have to do. Great work, though 🇬🇧
Thank you William. They've had this problem for many years, so we wanted to make sure we got it right the first time. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, Tom
Thank you very much Jeff. I have a 4 foot and an 8 footer that I use on every job. It makes the work faster, much flatter and a better final result. Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving, Tom
Great job that yard was really wet. You all did an amazing job and now the homeowner will be able to enjoy a dry backyard. I installed pop up’s and learned really quick.. if to don’t get them low enough the mower will take them out. 😂 😂. Have a great week
Thank you very much Alan. I really enjoy this type of project. Hopefully next year we get to do a bunch more. I agree on the popup and they’re not cheap anymore. Thanks again and happy thanksgiving, Tom
Great Video. Do you ever do follow up videos visiting yards like this after a rainstorm when all the grass has come in. Would be great to see before and after.
Loving that advantageous loading height up on the trailer while loading into the Muck Truck and you don't even have to unhook the trailer! The bucket is nicely sized to match too! Great setup! I also noticed that you're not pulling the truck against the parking pawl in the transmission because the trailer you're on is coupled to the truck. AND you're running a smooth cutting edge so it doesn't tear up the bed.
One thing that Shawn from the Gate City Foundation & Drainage channel does, that I haven't seen on your channel yet, is that he sometimes films initial visits and evaluations. And he records and includes a segment at the end, of how the system is working when it is raining. It would take longer to release videos but it's very compelling when you can see the before and after, in the same video where you share how you mitigate the issue. Sometimes he gets the homeowner to record a clip and includes it that way.
Hi guy love watching your great work. from UK. Could there be any chance to look at your work after 6 months to see how your work got on thanks GREAT work
Thank you Sam. I hope you had a good season. I am also a big fan of polylok basins and I use them as often as I can. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a prosperous 2024. Tom
Hi. The cale you found is most likely a irrigation control cable. Possible that the sprinklers are running way to long and to often. Possible that they have to many sprinklers in the yard
In this scenario, the downspout catch basin AND the downspout line to that basin will become a trap, which will limit kinetic water flow. For catch basins to work properly, the incoming line must be higher than the outgoing line. A short baffle on the outgoing line provides an additional layer of protection from debris leaving the basin. Nevertheless, for the sake of your customer, I hope your method stands the test of time. Cheers.
Thank you for your insights Dave. That is exactly why I put the catch basin in this spot and in this way. It interrupts the flow and catches debris before it goes into our chamber system. Like I told you in your last comment - I do this all the time and I've never had an issue. We will be doing a follow up video on this system late spring.
If u put a catch basin in the lowest part of the grade to catch the surface water. How come muddy water doesn’t go into the catch basin and eventually clog it and eventually clog the dry well chamber system??
I agree that a little muddy water may go into the dry well in the beginning. Once the lawn comes in the runoff would no longer be muddy. We have to put the catch basin in the lowest spot to solve the customer's problem and the purpose of the basin is to filter the debris before it goes into the system. The debris falls to the bottom of the basin and can be cleaned out. Thank and have a great day, Tom
Dan, 12 inch basins fit the yard better and it’s the size of the discharge pipe that determines how fast they empty. 12 or 20 with a 4 inch discharge pipe empty at the same rate. Have a great day, Tom
Thank you for the suggestion Alexei. We use plywood or fabric when we’re not grading, but there’s no need for that when we’re completely regrading a yard. We did use plywood out front, so that lawn wasn't damaged by running the machines back and forth. Thanks again, Tom
The only thing that would make these videos better is a return visit to the property to see your work in action, like a follow-up 😊

THAT'S WITH A L L OF E M . French drain man. Gates city foundation drainage 👍
This is quite a drainage system.
Thank you William. They've had this problem for many years, so we wanted to make sure we got it right the first time. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, Tom
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage Your welcome I hope you also have a wonderful Thanksgiving
I love it
Watching you use that excavator like another arm !!
You have AMAZING skills
I hope more people learn from you!
Great video
Thank you very much Chuck. You are a very helpful and encouraging friend. Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving, Tom
That trick using the 4x4 to level out the ground with the backhoe was pretty cool! Great video!

You guys are working SO hard. Doing a great job and saving a ton of money doing it yourselves. GREAT JOB.
Thank you very much Diamond.
Great Video. Do you ever do follow up videos visiting yards like this after a rainstorm when all the grass has come in. Would be great to see before and after.
Thank you James. We do follow ups when we can. There are a few videos already up. Thanks again, Tom
Well done.
Thank you very much Denis.
Great job.
Thank you very much B.
You guys make an amazing team!
Thank you very much
Great job guys. Plus you should get more business by the neighbors noticing their yard flooding. Lol
Thank you very much Terry. Have a great weekend, Tom

We are hoping to David. Thanks
Great video does 12 inch poly lock basins are definitely awesome 💪

You guys are awesome
Thank you very much Toby. You’re awesome! Tom
Finally lol. Great job!
Thank you. It was a fun job.

Another good video. What editing software are you using?
Premier Pro
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage I was using Premier Pro but have switched to the free DaVinci Resolve 19. It's amazing
Awesome
Did you get the neighbors yard water ❓❓❓
So far, but we haven’t looked at this house since November. We’ll be back there in the spring, Tom
With all the water coming into the catch basin, how come you’re not using a 20

11:02 Please consider using plastic or big mats to place dirt on, so that it makes for an easier clean up when you're done.

@@tyelandscapinganddrainageYes, I saw that you do this in a different video, that I watched after this one. Keep up the good work!
