Project description

This client had water pooling near the front door, making the concrete green and slippery and the nearby gardens a muddy mess. We dug-out all the mud, installed new coil drains and a cesspit to catch the water run-off, and connected everything to the existing stormwater.
We completed the job by filling in the drainage trench with scoria, then covering with river stones for a nice tidy finish. The area is now dry and creates a nice landscaped feature at the front entrance.
