I thought about it but they'd have to be 100+ feet long. The problem with our
yard was that the ground sloped away from the house to a trough maybe 25 feet
out. The water hit that trough and rolled right back to the house. Once I
filled the trough we got way less intrusion. Now we need another layer to raise
the slope over where the trough used to be. Last time I just filled the low
spot, now I need raise the level at the house.
