My office manager just had that done at her house. It is terraced with a nice rock wall and a ditch full of rocks on either side of the house. Father in law in Texas has a similar drain he did with his tractor. I have seen it in action during a catastrophic flood, very efficient.

I remember doing some french drains in our back yard as a kid. Oldest brother drives us to the river. Mom's car, '72 Fleetwood, enormous, you could put a mini Cooper in the trunk of that thing, hauled the rock in that. Our excavator was two shovels and a pickax, with buckets to haul the dirt.
