What this film shows

  1. The grate

    A channel-drain grate set across the paved surface — the only part most people will notice once the work is done.

  2. The paving

    The paved area the channel crosses, seen at close range.

  3. Work materials

    Installation materials nearby, a reminder that this is a moment during the work rather than a finished result.

A useful next step

A channel drain is one way to deal with water running across a driveway, patio or walkway. Whether it suits a particular property depends on how water reaches that surface and where it can go next.

Photos of where water runs and where it collects are a good place to start. Site conditions determine any proposed route and installation.
