@cwrtnewyddbutthead. May I suggest you give this channel a try: Post 10 A bit of an odd bird but a good one.

Looks really good! What you said about keeping it an open channel to catch more surface water from the neighbor makes a lot of sense. It's disgusting that these towns get away with just dumping water on people like this. It makes me furious. If you are poor and can't pay to have this work done, you are screwed.

I’m learning a lot from your videos… in South Africa 🇿🇦

I like the fact that you return to the sight during a strong rain to shoe the end result. The lesson I learned buying a house is always perform an inspection during a rain.

You sir have a great team, remember to bring them a couple of beers on days like that. A beer-break in the shadow with your mates really lifts the spirit and rejuvenates your energy more than coke can ever dream of.

At first, I was thinking the culvert was overkill and would cost too much for some water but seeing all that water flowing was shocking. I would have been pissed from the very first time seeing that much water flowing in my backyard after buying that house and not being told about a river alongside your house. At least you were able to fix it and it looked good too.

I like this sort of heavy duty channel being open to the surface. You can see if it's breaking down at any point, and fix it straight away, where an underground drain you don't know if there's a problem until it fails completely. It's also much easier for a new owner to identify, or other workers, if the property changes hands.

very well thought out drainage, I also built a rip rap (6' stone)style drain running along my driveway to 16' corugated drain pipe under the driveway to the other side then dumps over the hillside. The only thing that I dont like about it is 7 yrs later the weeds are growing up through the weed control fabric and its a pain to weedeat as it throws rocks and ebris all over the palce.

The issue was all that water running along the back yard, into the front yard, and into the drainage basin. Now the water flows down the channel and through the culvert across the front yard.

No many people show the results after the job is done and working properly. Very nice work.
