Backyard Drainage Problem


Posted by Heather on July 2nd, 2004 09:23 AM

My backyard has a pretty deep slope. About 2 years ago we had a fence installed. This fence does not allow the water to drain. Therefore when we receive excessive amounts of rain, it floods out our basement. I have several french drains in place at the moment, but it is not working. I have heard that you are to cut the fence planks a little shorter and place rock around this area. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.
