Yards
HydroBlox installations take 1/4 the time and do not require all the other materials and equipment used for old technology systems.
Transform your muddy, swampy yard into a dry, usable space with HydroBlox—the most straightforward and effective water drainage solution available. Why struggle with the cumbersome process of installing a traditional French drain, which can fail in just a few years?
HydroBlox provides a faster and more economical alternative, allowing for installations that take only a fraction of the time. There's no need for aggregate, filter cloth, or costly excavation, making it a hassle-free choice. Enjoy a dependable, long-lasting drainage solution that minimizes disruption to your outdoor space.
The typical installation involves digging a trench 2-4 inches wide and approximately 12” deep from where you have water to the area that can accept the water. Hydroblox is inserted into the trench. Each plank needs to touch the other for water to be conveyed from one to the next. To insure the boards stay in place after installation, it is recommended that they are overlapped and/or screwed together with a stainless steel screw. There will be at least 3" of cover once installed. However, HydroBlox must be backfilled and top filled with GOOD yard soil.
Do NOT backfill with:
- Clay soil
- Gravel (unless using HydroBlox in a gravity fed system)
- Gravelly soil (unless using in a gravity fed system)
- Brick
- Block
- Stones
