How to build a dry stream bed

Dry Stream Beds are great for serving as a focal point and for diverting rain water when needed. This video will show you several examples and how one is built. Here are some of the cool rocks you see in the video;

How much did this project cost roughly ? thanks.

[@2minutegardener639]

There are a couple of different dry stream beds in the video. Which one are you referring to?

Recently bought land. Was interested in doing this to help a small amount of water build up in my backyard. We live in OK and it rains a lot. Can this help?

[@2minutegardener639]

Yes it can, as long as there is some type of slope (even a small one) that can take the water out of your backyard. Sometimes I will start a dry stream bed in a backyard and run it to the front yard so that the excess water eventually reaches the street. This also helps slow the water so that there less potential for damage down stream.
