This was real helpful video. I was searching over and hour for what the high numbers mean on the grading plan and got the answer within 3 minutes on this video - measurement above sea level in FEET. Thanks a lot!
this video is really helpful for my senior design project. Aah I didn't know what to do but now I have an idea. thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with me
Good info I’m a landscaper main maintenance I’m learning to go to hard scape and I loose my first job because I don’t know this . This a basic thing every contractor need to know
This was enlightening, as a landscaper I've been looking to expand my knowledge on this topic. Would you recommend a class to take to better address and understand grading? Thank you for making this, good vibes to you}}}
Awesome vids. I was the one of the first homes in my subdivision (walkout basement) and my property was properly graded and water flowed according to the site plan...no access to storm drain system...just flowed out to street curb between property lines...now ...like you mentioned they have built up around me with top soil and sod and now the water just collects along my fence lines and to the back corner of my property. it does eventually dry up but only after a couple of days of hot weather but its still quite soft along property line...oh and my base is clay. Any drainage suggestions to help me manage this...I live in Canada so freezing is a concern. Thanks!
This was really helpful! I have a question though, When building on a swale, is it easy to just direct the drainage by using the plot plan “drainage arrows” and having it go around our project if needed ? Or is it recommended to have it drain on the project area if we have things like planters or sod?
I just started a new job. I feel like shi because they have me reading elevations and I don't know what I'm doing. This helped me understand some of the plans. Can you explain how to get the differences from one point to another. I know we subtract them, but what does it mean after.
Excellent👍🏻👏 that was a nice house building lesson.Just curious, don't this modern survey instrument give elevation directly with the push of a button or we still have to transfer elevation from existing catch basin level or top of the kerb to get our house level?🤔
What are your thoughts on a new build in FL, on clay fill dirt with a 4' slope from the back of the property line to the bottom of the slope...and the elevation from the bottom of the slope to the front of the property line declining 1 inch...
Missing information. 4ft of slope.....I think you are referring to the drop. 4ft of total drop over what distance? 1 inch decline every how many ft? I don't care about clay filled dirt. I love the clay it sheds water away from the house like it's a rubber Liner. I work in South East Michigan and most everything is clay. This doesn't sound bad at all I just don't have all the information. Based on what you did provide the swale will need a french drain / yard drain combined. I've done many videos on this. Also you can pump the water to the front yard with a outdoor sump pump system. No big deal ruclips.net/video/i9HROS4M9yw/видео.html
How do you know those elevations are from above sea level. Not every neighborhood has a benchmark. Catch basin elevations can't be trusted you don't know if they were ever changed since the survey was done

This was an amazing video! The simple way you explained what can be very complicated was fantastic.
Grad student here - studying for my class in urban planning - this was a life saver! Thank you!

I will never understand why engineering university doesn’t teach us reading basic plans. Thank you sir for teaching me this.
They do…..

It's elevation above sea level. That's what the numbers mean.
Thanks for the info French Drain Man

You should really read all the comments because people are praising this video, and students are thanking me for helping them understand. ✌️
