With all the drain curtains I want, it probably won't be that inexpensive Dawg....but not 81K either.

I could buy a new Z with that!

I'm breaking down this project into smaller parts.

My father-in-law knows an excavating guy. In a few days, he is going to give a quote on excavating 75% of the driveway and all the drainage.

Sounds like you went with the guys who will get it done correctly for you. Might not be the cheapest but for something like this, you want them on the same page.

Good to hear!!

Still don't understand the huge price - but sounds like you've done enough research to understand the best plan of attack

Hopefully that helps some of the "Mud" situation

Adding two drain lines in front of the Camaro side of the garage and drainage on both sides of the main driveway gives me about a 1/4 mile of drainage.

Some companies who quoted didn't want to talk to me about drainage or told me I didn't need that much drainage. They wouldn't be the one's stuck living in the mud bog though.

Also, it's things like having geo-textile fabric encapsulate the drainage pipe and the rocks in the French drain that made me go with Ayotte. They really know their drainage & driveways!

The price isn't that surprising when you consider the size of the driveway and all the details
