Hello Everyone
My name is Michael and i am new to reno's. I have just had a granny flat built in the backyard of my investment property. I have been told by council to build a path to the front door. The property slopes downward gently from front to back. The Granny flat is at the very back and sits perpendicular to the slope direction. As you can imagine when it rains the granny flat slab catches the water square on as it flows through the property. Ok so my issue, i am building the path (roadbase, pebble and stepping stones) at the exact same point in which the water hits the slab and kind of collects the water. Im interested to know how you guys would solve the drainage issue. Should i create a slope to have the water follow? Should i use irrigation (expensive option possibly?) Any info of feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Michael Henry
