hi guys,
First time on here but i have been googling like a mad man the last few days to try and figure out a solution.
Basically from the first picture is where the water is coming from when ( the odd occasion ) the rain gets so bad it floods. It finds its way down my lane and washes all the lane stone to the bottom. Its more an inconvenience to be honest as it has only happened twice this year and never before.
Personally i thought a cattle grid with a 10" pipe would be enough , but the wife does not want a cattle grid ( women ! )
My next thought was channel / french drains across the lane maybe about three (top, middle, bottom) With the hope that the first drain would take the worst of the water and the next two clear it up and I would hope it would leave a lot of the stone in place. The father in law( retired building) believes this will not work. My job couldnt be further from building but I would believe my thought process is sensible enough and i can put my hand to most things given enough time.So I am banging my head quite a bit at the minute.
This is what I was left with when it flooded. Not so worried about the water more the fact I have shovled a few tonne of lane back up !
Anyway thanks for any help guys
