Hi
DIY patio job by myself lol
Anyway Indian sandstone patio laid on 100mm mot 1 then 4-1 solid base.
Patio falls into an area where artificial grass will be going now the patio is in a L shape around the grass area so the fall obviously goes away from the house but also at the end of the L I have made it fall away from the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden.
It kinda dishes around the grass area.
Now before yesterday when I laid the sand ready for the grass the water would gather at the lowest point of the dish in heavy rain but would be draining into the grass area once the rain stopped the patio would naturally drain off without much standing water left behind.
In the grass area it would pool a little before finally draining off in the low spots of the mot 1
Yesterday I levelled and flatten off the mot 1 and added 30mm of sand on top of the 50mm mot 1, woke up this morning to heavy rain and the area that normally gathers and pools off is much larger! And pooling all around the grass area! I still think it's pooling off but has more resistance now the grass area is levelled to the patio.
So I thinking of adding a soak away in the grass area around the border of the patio and filling with pea singles to help with drainage?
Help lol
