My driveway, and well, almost all of my garden, suffers from poor drainage. On one side i have a piece of grass that seems to drain into my garage, and the other side and rear are all higher than my house. So, I have a natural low point.
I need to accept this and try and make best of it, one by installing a soakaway - however I do have drains near the house that the guttering goes down into. I'm just very wary of channelling water towards the house unless it is nice and controlled.
I want to run a driveway channel system into one, is it just as simple as installing the channels into concrete and ensuring they are levelled so they drain into my current drainpipe drain? My driveway is a natural slope down from the main road so this seems a great way to remove some standing water.
I'm worried about leaves and stuff getting in and blocking the drain so do i just fit a filter grating?
Anyone else done this recently?
