Hi,
Not sure if this is in the right place as it relates to patios, drains, gardens..
Here is the problem. We own a mid terrace in a group of 3 properties built in 1992. The 2 end terraces have the down-pipes that collect rainwater from the roof. No downpipe, surface water drainage on my property in the middle of the terrace.
I am planning some patio lanscaping in the back garden and need some advice on how to drain it. It is quite a small garden (3Mtr Wide x 5 Mtrs deep) not really much room for a "rain garden".
We live in an area with Devon clay soil, soakaways not really an option.
There is a small inspection chamber next to the back of the house, but this is for foul waste, so I doubt I could drain the patio into this.
Looking for idea's really. Thanks for reading!
