What Affects Your Price?
The cost of a drainage system depends on:
- Run Length — longer = more pipe, gravel, labor
- Soil Conditions — clay, rock, and roots cost more
- Trench Depth — deeper means more excavation
- Access — tight areas may need hand-digging
- Outlet Type — a pump or storm tie-in adds cost
How Much Do Systems Usually Cost?
