My yard gets soggy every spring, and I’m wondering if a French drain could fix it. Anyone know how effective they are in Markham?

French drains are solid for redirecting water away from your property, especially if your yard turns into a swamp seasonally. They’re basically perforated pipes buried in gravel that channel water elsewhere. In Markham, where soil can get pretty compact, they work well if installed right. I found a good breakdown at https://leaquida.ca/markham/french-drain/ that explains the process. Could be a smart move if you’re fed up with muddy boots every spring!
