I live below sea level so local flooding is a concern. I have a drain in my yard that connects to a city pipe that runs through the middle of my yard down the middle.
The first pic is from 2021 where we had a king tide and heavy rains for a week. My drain leading to the city pipe was a bit choked off which I have now fully cleared. Being the low point, all the standing water from my neighbors collects in my yard so I put in a french drain.
Fast forward to now and it's a different yard. My wife and I did all the work. Most of the rock was sourced for free from FB marketplace. Total spent, about $1200 including a half day rental of the digger. Heavy rains since then have yet to produce a puddle.
