About to move in to my new build house but concerned that my front garden is sloped towards my house. All the other houses gardens are sloped to the side away from their house, but because there is higher land on the other side of us with a retaining wall. I am worried that water will congregate in that corner and cause waterlogging. The garden slopes in two directions - towards the house and also towards that wall. Does this look like it could cause water logging/ drainage issues or damp? Considering there is often very heavy rain and snow where I live.
I am trying to think why the builders have made it so sloped here and wonder if it is because the bricks which are not rendered (I am assuming that is the damp proof course?) need to remain above the ground level? Is there any way this could be corrected or do those bricks need to remain unobstructed?
