Garden/lawn drains, membrane or not?

Posted by Dan Frazer Gardening on September 14, 2017 at 1:59pm
I'm getting someone in to do some drains for me, pea gravel and perforated pipe. He doesn't suggest using membrane to line the trench, but I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone thinks otherwise for the best long term results.Thanks

    I am in East Kilbride heavy clay we don't line the trench but we do put membrane on top. On sandy soils it is required

    Ive quite often seen it where the pipe is wrapped in the membrane.

    If you use membrane it helps to keep the soil out of the gravel and pipe. It should therefore make the drain last longer.
