Every now and then a product hits the market that saves 50% of the installation time. The NDS EZ Flow French Drainage tile is one of those!
Simple really, NDS took a 3” perforated corrugated drain tile and wrapped it in a 7” layer of light weight aggregate. It’s all held together by a filter fabric.
Bottom line: no need for gravel to install a drainage line!

Traditional French Drain
The old way to make a French Drain is to dig a trench, lay in the drain tile, fill with gravel, then dress off the trench. By the time you’ve hauled the gravel you are exhausted and you have destroyed a yard with equipment or wheel barrows.
The NDS EZ Flo Way
The EZ Flow way is to dig a trench, lay in the EZ Flow tile, and dress off the trench. It takes half the time. And you haul no gravel!
EZ Flow tile is crush proof, very light weight, has a 100 year lifespan, and it’s even “green”.  EZ Flow qualifies for LEEDS credits.
List price is around $6 per foot. Packaged in 10’ sections with 9 sections per bundle. Consider the reduced cost because no gravel is required, 50% less installation time, and wear and tear on your body.
Works for any type of drainage installation such as typical French drain, foundation drain, and it is great for retaining walls.
I like this picture of this drain system. I’m thinking about putting one of these in my back yard. I believe it would help my lawn grow better. Furthermore, it would reduce the risk of flooding. What sort of materials are used for this?
