What does land drainage do?

Land drainage is the process of removing excess water from soil to improve its fertility and prevent waterlogging. It involves installing a system of pipes or channels that allow water to flow away from the land, either by gravity or with the help of pumps. This helps to prevent soil erosion, improve crop yields, and reduce the risk of flooding.

How deep should a land drain be?

Land drains should be installed at a depth of at least 18 inches (45cm) below the surface of the ground. However, the depth may vary depending on the soil type and the drainage requirements of the specific area. It is recommended to consult with a professional before installing a land drain.

What size is the land drainage pipe?

Land drainage pipes come in various sizes, ranging from 60 mm to 150 mm in diameter. The size you need will depend on the amount of water you need to drain and the size of the area you are draining. It is best to consult with a professional to determine the appropriate size for your specific needs.

What is the best pipe for underground drainage?
