I've put it off for two years now, it's time to replace the tile running under my pasture. It's a mess, found a fresh sink hole a few days ago plenty big enough to swallow a horse's leg. We're also planning to move some fence so I penciled that in as well for a clearer picture of the goal.
So the yellow circle and yellow line is where I need to install a drain and tile out to the drainage from left to right. That drainage goes under the road directly into the creek. The new tile will be about a 500' run.
The blue is the existing septic field perimeter overflow drain. It needs to be dug up and attached into the main (yellow) tile.
The red is another tile I would like to put in if and when money allows.
The green is the new location we want the fence. The white is the existing fence that's coming down.
I intend to buy the biggest drain and tile I can afford, wrapped, perforated and laid in a gravel trench. Ain't gonna be cheap but it's gotta be done. I've never really paid attention to the tile, where would be the best place to buy it? I haven't done any searching yet so maybe I can get it all at Lowes, Home Depot or Menards but even if I can, is that the best place to go? Do they sell inferior quality stuff?
This is what I have to work with so I haven't a clue if it's gonna make life easy or if it's only big enough to make it take forever and a month lol. It's been worth it's weight in gold for several projects but this is a big undertaking (I think).
I also have a 16' dump bed trailer so I can go pick up four tons of stone at a time but I don't be able to get the trailer into the pasture (way too wet until mid summer or so) so I'll have to run it out a bucket at a time with the front end loader.
Any and all advice is appreciated. I've never done this before, there is ample elevation change for the tile run so the angle of the tile shouldn't be too difficult to get right.
