      We can’t say enough good about Sam’s French Drains . He is very passionate and meticulous about what he does and worked very hard to get the job done right . It was very impressive watching how he works and the knowledge he has. . He even discovered some issues with our foundation that we did not know about and he repaired it for us . We are very impressed and happy with the drains after the last hard rain we had. He finished it off with River Rock and sod and made it look really nice. We highly recommend Sam’s French Drains. .

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer Review for Sam’s French Drains and Landscape We originally hired a primary installer to resolve our drainage issues, but they never fixed the problem—and eventually stopped responding entirely. A second contractor claimed they could correct everything, but reused the same inadequate materials and clearly didn’t understand how to optimize a yard drain, downspout drain, or French drain system. They also failed to address surface water from rain and sprinklers. As a result, our yard continued to erode, water pooled after every rain or sprinkler cycle, and there was no proper outlet for runoff. The drains lacked consistent slope, and the catch basin they installed could not be adjusted—forcing every pipe to be raised to match it, which only made drainage worse. Finding Sam of Sam’s French Drains and Landscape: After years of frustration, we finally found Sam—and the experience was completely different from the start. Previous installers used flimsy big-box materials, ignored slope and grading, and left us with pipes literally popping out of the ground. Sam approached the problem with true expertise and care. He came out during a major storm so he could observe our drainage issues in real time. While other contractors rushed to “finish in a day,” Sam focused on diagnosing the real problem. He explained that we did not need a French drain at all—despite both previous contractors insisting on one. Instead, we needed: - A proper roof runoff drain from the downspouts - Yard catch basins installed at correct elevations - A fully adjustable system maintaining correct slope to both the street (front) and lake (rear) - Correct grading of the yard—something none of the prior installers addressed Sam also shared that when he installs systems himself, they typically take a full week—not a rushed single day—to ensure everything is done correctly. DIY With Sam’s Expert Guidance: We decided to do the work ourselves, and Sam became a true partner throughout the process. He provided: - A detailed materials list - Product recommendations using French Drain Man (FDM) components - Instructional videos - Hands-on training at our home Once our FDM products arrived, Sam spent over two hours walking us through: - How to assemble every component - How to measure and maintain proper slope - How to grade the yard correctly before installing anything - How to avoid all the mistakes our previous contractors made - Real examples of what proper drainage should look like Throughout the project, he remained available by phone, reviewed every set of progress photos we sent, and even returned multiple times to check our work in person and help troubleshoot. When we followed his instructions exactly, the system came together perfectly—and when we deviated, he helped us understand how to correct it. We worked side by side on weekends, checking slope every couple of feet with a small bubble level—something neither previous installer ever bothered to do. The Result: It has now been six months since we completed the installation, and our drainage system has performed flawlessly through both Florida thunderstorms and daily sprinkler cycles. The water flows exactly as it should, our pipes remain solidly buried, and our yard no longer floods or erodes. The difference compared to the first two contractors is truly night and day. Final Recommendation: We highly recommend: - French Drain Man products — engineered, durable, and vastly superior to big-box store parts. - Sam’s French Drains and Landscape — Sam’s knowledge, professionalism, experience, and genuine care transformed our project into a long-term success. Without Sam’s guidance, we would still be fighting major drainage issues on both sides of our home. Thanks to him, our yard drainage is no longer a nightmare—it finally functions exactly as it should.
