Installing a Driveway Channel Drain

Our driveway slopes down towards our garage and we would often end up with a small lake when it rained. In 2008 we installed a central drain to redirect the water away from the driveway to the lower side of our property. While this eliminated the lake, we still had some minor puddling, and sediment washed down under our cars. So we decided to pour concrete slabs where we park our cars. To further improve drainage and prepare for the new slabs, we installed a new channel drain running the full width of our driveway.

Best part of the video was at 7.46 when you were sitting in the shed and watching your wife work. Nice work

Nice neat work! Do it right the first time! I like how your form work kept the channel drain suspended to allow the concrete to slush it’s way underneath.

Looks good. It's awesome your wife helps. I'm slowly getting the wife to help with projects. I think I will have better luck getting my daughters to help.

Hello. I enjoyed the video. I have a very similar situation. I have a gravel driveway. My question is does any of the driveway (stones, fines, etc) wash into the channel drain especially during heavy rain ? Thanks

No disrespect meant but I LOLed at this part 7:45
