Average French Drain Cost in Central Florida

Most residential projects: $1,500 to $6,000. What varies:

• Length: 30-foot run vs 150-foot system
• Depth: Florida’s high water table (2-4 feet) may require deeper trenches
• Soil conditions: Sandy soil is easier than compacted fill
• Discharge point: Swale daylight vs stormwater tie-in
• Landscaping restoration: Sod and mulch after trenching

What’s Included in Professional Installation

• Site assessment
• Trenching 12-18 inches wide, 18-24 inches deep
• Filter fabric (critical in Florida sand)
• 4-inch perforated pipe
• Washed gravel
• Proper discharge
• Cleanup and restoration

DIY vs Professional

DIY materials: $500-$1,000. But wrong slope, no filter fabric, too shallow, or bad discharge means doing it twice. Doing it right the first time costs less.
