A French drain starts with digging a trench. The depth and width of the trench can vary, but 5 to 6 inches wide and 8 to 12 inches deep are common sizes and usually satisfy most needs.
These artificial drainage paths, called wick drains, consist of a central plastic core, which functions as a free-draining water channel, surrounded by a thin geotextile filter jacket. A typical wick drain is approximately 4 inches wide, 1/8 inch thick, and comes in rolls up to 1,000 feet in length.
