Alloa and Clackmannanshire
Drainage
Standing water ruins a new patio faster than anything else. Drainage is planned with the levels, not bolted on once the slabs are down.
What the job includes
- A look at where water arrives and where it can leave
- Falls across patios and drives
- Channels, gullies and pipe runs
- Connections discussed before anything is dug
- Reinstatement of the surface that was lifted
A short domestic run has an example guide. A garden that floods from the hill above it is a surveyed job, not a metre rate guessed from the road.
