Dig the start of the trench of the perforated pipe. In needs to be at least 6 inches wide, although 12 inches will give you more working space. At the start the trench should be 14 inches deep. This equals 6 inches for the grass and soil, 4 inches for the gravel and 4 inches for the pipe.

Dig a slope downward as you work away from the beginning point of the trench. The slope needs to be one-quarter of an inch for every 4 feet. Place a level on a flat surface and raise one side one-quarter inch. Mark the glass tube where the bubble is. The level can now be a guide to show you if the slope is dropping one-quarter inch. Use a shovel to dig the trench to its ending location. If digging through grass, scape off the sod and set it aside to be put back when you are done.

Fill the trench with 2 inches of gravel.

4

Wrap the pipe in the fabric and place it in the trench with the perforated holes facing down.

5

Fill over top and on the sides of the trench. You need 2 inches on the top.

Finish filling in the hole with soil and the grass or ground cover that you removed when you dug the trench.
