Linear French drain systems have derived from the typical French drain; the only difference is that it consists of a number of pipes being installed sort of like a grid where the water flows from different directions through these pipes until they meet with the main connector pipe that is responsible for draining the water off your yard.
These Linear French drain systems are typically made using pea gravel or crushed rock, with woven landscape fabric and a set of perforated, corrugated drainage pipe systems, which are ideal for removing water from a soggy area of your yard.
To install these linear systems which are really called subsurface drainage systems you will have to install several linear French drains to carry off the water from saturated areas of your yard through collection pipes which are linked to a deep run off trench which is dug in the lowest area of the yard.
Typically how this works is that the entire drainpipes systems will have to connect to a six inch solid collection pipe that goes all the way down to the runoff trench and so carries the water from your yard.
