I'm guessing this will come up a lot with the recent weather. When we get heavy rainfall our patio starts to flood in one corner. The patio slops to that one corner
Anyway a couple of years ago I put pea gravel down the edge between the flags and lawn. Probably a foot wide all the way down. In the corner where it's worse I dug about 1 metre by half a meter by I'd say a good 2 or 3 foot deep and filled that with pea gravel. A do it myself soakaway
Now this has helped but not eliminated it. It doesnt help the soil is quite clay heavy. I'm at a loss with what to do. I can put an aco drain down the edge but what do I do with the corner seeing as that's where it would all drain. It's like that would make it worse. I cant drain to my drain on the house as the patio slopes away so it would run uphill
