Hi. I'm wanting to flag the entire back garden with council paving flagstones. Size about 5.5m wide 8m long.
But, there are two points of note which are very pertinent to drainage which are:
* I want the paving surface to be flat - no slope.
* All edges will abut some kind of wall (however, on 3 sides I could make "entrances" at the junction of flags and the walls to allow water to flow beyond the paving boundary.)
So, will I be able to achieve sufficient drainage given the two points above?
If not, if "entrances" at points along the boundary are insufficient, there would have to a means of allowing water to drain within the paving boundary, between the individual flag edges. That probably might not work though - unless the flags were to be raised above the soil level. That might work if there is a product for that. Not sure if there is.
Comments appreciated. Thank you.
