It has been 16 months since I installed my backyard French Drain.

This was a really fun project to work on, and really helpful for our yard. Since the installation, the standing water in my backyard has disappeared and the misquotes have gone with it. Now that its been nearly a year and a half, I decided to make an update showing the post-drought season's impact on the French Drain.

As the video shows, the drought in central Texas has caused fissures to open up in the clay soil of my backyard. These fissures are swallowing some of the granite used for the french drain!

This is common for central Texas and a good reminder to keep your home's foundation watered.

Thanks again for watching Austin Texas Gardening!
