Hi guys, Looking for some advice on repairing this door seal as it's torn and this area of the house gets very cold. It doesn't pull up very easily, and I'm not sure the seals that come up with a quick Google really match this? Some of the common ones seem to push in but this feels strongly...

I believe it's storm water storage, a sort of overflow that is partially under my land and the next 2/3 houses also. Strikes me that it is more of a rodent entrance too. If it is just a vent, it doesn't strike me as well done. Not only the depth of the pipe leading up to it, but surely there...

Hello! I've hit this pipe whilst digging, it's around 150mm deep. I've dug a pilot hole further down to verify it's not just loose pipe and it extends further into my garden at seemingly an increasing depth. It protrudes immediately behind my garden fence without seemingly going anywhere. It's...

It's not something that happens in North USA / Canada after one year so unless we get successive record breaking years I'm not concerned about that aspect.

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of sorting some french drains myself. I'm doing them the recommended way, trench lined with a geotextile fabric, perforated drain at the bottom and then filled with stones and wrapped into a burrito. On top of that we will be putting decorative stones. The width of...

The stone perimeter isn't going to be just around this square area, it flows to various other areas (they just weren't relevant to this post so I didn't mention) so it's easier to do it all at once. I'll also be putting french drains in the stone areas.

Yes, sorry had it wrong way around. Membrane down with type 1 on top of that. I've read it's useful to prevent the stone mixing with the soil, especially in waterlogged clay soil like mine. Yes, it is a hot tub that's going on top. Interestingly, the manufacturer of the pad that it's going on...

Hi guys, Just wanted a bit of advice on this. Fairly (very) new to garden landscaping but I'll give anything a go after a few Youtube video's. I'm at the stage where it's planned and will probably begin buying materials next week, to then begin the first stages in mid-February. This is one...

Just looking for some advice on this. I'm looking at putting some Type 1 MOT down myself, and at the same time I'll be having someone in to fit a patio. The two things are unrelated, but he's suggested he can dig the whole thing up for me as he'll have the digger anyway. Makes sense. The whole...
