French drains installed in June settle in well before the dry months hit. That matters because a drain that gets installed in August goes into compacted, dry soil that shifts when fall rains come. Spring and early summer installations have the advantage of going in while the ground is workable and the drainage pattern is already active, so we can confirm during installation that the system is routing water correctly. If a French drain has been on your list, now is a good time to get it scheduled.
