Hi. There's a gap around the house and customer wants it filling with pebbles. But before that to dig out what's in it. Some sand and rubble... That's fine.. dig out and fill.. but they're saying they think it should be a foot deep for good drainage. So.. garden slopes a bit to house. As the gap is right next to the house do I have to dig down below foundations? They have said it gets waterlogged there so asking for a piece of plastic to be placed against the house. . within the gap.. then backfilled with pebbles as sometimes it can leak into conservatory.. so if I dig down say 6 inches or a foot?? (Which is best?) Would this provide an adequate place for water to soak down... If so is the project likely to lead to other problems as a result. Sorry if the question isnt clear..I'm not sure how deep to dig or if the plastic laying in the gap flush to the conservatory wall but below the dpc would cause any problems.. I have added 2 pics to an album
