Lay Sod Over French Drain Field?

[WooHorn]

I am going to run a french drain trench to collect water and take it out to the street, but I just heard that you are not supposed to lay sod on top of all that sand for some reason and now I am worried because I don't want some long streak of sand across my yard.

Can I lay sod on top to cover it up once I am finished?? If I don't, can I just let the existing St. Augustine grow over the area and reestablish itself?

St. Aug will reclaim it in no time. I didn't think you have a problem here.

Woo,

On our homes, we cover the lines but make sure the drain itself is clear of grass. The Drains are usually in a low inside corner of a homes foundation or in a low spot in the yard. Landscaping can usually hide the drain in the middle of a yard.
