Oh, *fun*... I've put in a couple french drains myself ($DAYJOB is nominally construction, but frequently handyman/repairs). A "french drain" is the technical name for the ditch full of gravel you're after (though the term also applies to a hole full of gravel). But I live on the other side of the country (Northern California).
