About Lusby's Cove of Calvert

Southern Maryland Real Estate - French Drain!

This picture I took on vacation in Menerb, France.  The french drains in Southern Maryland don't look like this. Southern Maryland is a rural area with plenty of pervious land and less concrete. This true French drainage system is installed in the city of Menerb and the purpose to eliminate water from the city in an eco-friendly way with an added benefit of beauty, tranquility and peace as you stroll the lovely city. I suppose the water can't penetrate the concrete walkways.

What is a French Drain? The French drain is a time-honored system for eliminating excess water from low points and other areas prone to saturated soil. French drains are quite simple: in essence they are just trenches filled with gravel, with sand on top of that. Often, you'll see French drains defined to include a drain pipe as well, though the traditional design is simply the gravel-filled trench. The advantages of French drains are low cost and easy installation. In addition, they can be covered over with turf after installation, making them less conspicuous. Water drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area. Many agricultural soils need drainage to improve production or to manage water supplies.
