•  Excavate approximately 15 feet of 3” PVC underground drainage line leading to drywell at Northeast corner of front yard, adjacent to flower bed, at end of driveway. 

• Excavate drywell, remove and dispose of existing crushed stone.
• Line drywell pit (bottom and sides) with landscape filter fabric to prevent soil, silt and root infiltration into crushed stone

• Infill entire drywell pit with 3/4” crushed stone

  • Dimensions of drywell to match existing, assumed to be 36-42” diameter by 42-48” deep

• Repair 3” PVC pipe where it is cracked by cutting away 6-12” of pipe and replacing section with new 4” PVC pipe and 2 PVC couplings.

• Final step will be to backfill all excavated areas, replace sod, hay and re-seed disturbed areas of lawn.
