Catch basins and yard grading to solve a very wet backyard. Part 1 of 2 - Downspouts and sump pump
Ойын-сауық
Hello, this is Tom from Tye Landscaping and we specialize in residential yard drainage where you are not allowed to discharge to the street or the water has to be contained on your property.
Now that we’ve done the core and tap and we are tied into the city infrastructure we can start to install the pipe and catch basins to capture all the rain water runoff in the back yard.
This family are having a problem with standing water. Three of their neighbors are higher than them and all their storm water is coming to this property. The town will not allow any of this water to discharge to the street or even the front yard.
Here is our plan. In this video we are going to complete the trenching from the street to the first large catch basin. We will tie in the 3 downspouts and the sump pump discharge. We will install the first set of inlets and 20 inch catch basin. That basin may look low for now, because we set it 2 inches below the level of the patio.
In the next video we will install the rest of the catch basins and inlets. Plus, all the grading and swales.
I hope you enjoy our video and I thank you for watching

There you go again. You made my whole week. Thanks Chuck.
What an interesting project -- I can't wait to see the completed yard! BTW, is that the shovel attachment you made for the mini-digger? It really worked great... I can't imagine having to dig that by hand! **shivers**

Hi Donna, We needed a wider trench because it was so deep and we would have to work in it. The bucket I made is only 6 inches wide and would not be comfortable to work in. I'm trying not to bug Dawn. I can't wait to see the next video too. Thanks again Donna, Tom
Very nice work. It looks like that you also had a little bit of trouble with the Kubota tractor.

Hi Bill, the tractor doesn’t straddle a trench as good as the mini. I learned it’s better to back fill before I run up to put the sidewalk back. Plus Dawn and Nick thought it was hilarious to throw that in there. Thank you for your compliment. Tom

Wow...that's a big job, great work! Roughly, how much did that job cost? I too have almost the exact same scenario. Thanks, Mike

Thank you very much Mike. I’m sorry, we don’t discuss pricing.
Are you guys putting check valves anywhere in case the sewer system backs up?

We may have a difference in the terms we use around here. This is storm sewer, not sanitary sewer. There are street catch basins lower than this property where the water could exit if the storm sewer were to back up. Plus, the town engineers did not ask for a back flow valve. Only a cleanout. Once again, we did not tie into the sewage system. We tied into the storm sewer pipe that runs between 2 city catch basins in the street.
I’m surprised a 4” pipe will be able to keep up.

Hi Tony. This system has been in and working great for almost two years. Have a great day
would these green pvc pipes freeze during the deep winters.

George, We don’t normally get a deep freeze in our area of New Jersey. I’ve never had a problem. I hope I answered your question.
