The cost of a french drain can vary widely depending upon the soil conditions, how rocky, how much clay, etc. The length of the drain, the depth and the width of the trench are also factors. A contractor is going to be paid for his time, his equipment and his know-how so these factors must also be considered. A good starting point for a typical drain that is 12-18 inches deep and 8-12 inches wide is $25/$30 per linear foot...example a drain that is 50 feet long and within the said perameters would start at a base price of 50 feet X $25.00 per foot = $1250.00. This is not considering variables....depending on the cicumstances, size, soil conditions, as mentioned earlier....I have charged as much as $100/ linear foot....which once again depends on the job.....I know of some french drains that were more expensive than $100/ln. ft.....remember when you ask a contractor to do the work you have to pay for everything he does related to the job....you should ask multiple contractors so you can compare bids....and check their insurance and license information....a good contractor is happy to show you both....good luck
