    Here are some solutions to manage drainage issues on a downward sloping driveway:
    • Dig a drainage trench alongside the driveway so that water flows into the side of the trench. Slope the trench at least 1 inch every 10 feet to conduct water downhill to a drainage termination point, such as a dry well. A French drain is perfect for this application because it collects high volumes of water and channels them safely downhill.
    • Install pipes first to direct water away and prevent erosion. Then fill in the area with compressed sand and gravel and add a layer of decomposed granite over that. Finally, apply the stabilizing resin as the top layer.
    • Install trench drains or channel drains at the street level to reroute the water away from the driveway and the property. Swales, or small holes or gently sloping depressions in the ground, can also redirect water flow and prevent standing water.
    • Proper grading, installing French drains, and redirecting downspouts are effective solutions for managing drainage issues on sloped yards.
    • Dig a trench at least 9 inches wide and 18 inches deep, and the trench should slant downward. Fill the bottom of the trench with gravel to at least 3 inches. Lay the pipe in the trench, with the holes in the pipe slanting downwards. Fill the rest of the trench with gravel.
