Below is where I plan on installing a french drain this winter. The red areas are pooling. I have fixed the two circular pools created by poorly designed downspouts but the yard pooling is still a problem. The blue line is the proposed french drain path. I need to channel all the water around the house and down the front slope of the property because to the rear is a steep slope into my neighbor's backyard. The property naturaly slopes from a burm at the back side of the property lines to the front of my property. The purple lines are where the downspouts will connect in to the drain.
