After an eternity using a laser and making sure we have a slope of 1cm per meter we now have the base layer done :) If I understand correctly I now need to rent a machine to compact everything tightly before putting the visqueen layer and the armature.
Is the 1 cm per meter put the draining water somewhere that can take more water ? I suppose I've been seeing a few posts about backyards having standing water during rainstorms and I am somewhat intrigued about the topic atm.
I have foreseen some kind of drainage around with a gravel ditch that leads to our water egress thingy. Though our piece of land usually drains quite well unless it pours for weeks.
A French drain?
I think an actual French drain requires some kind of pierced tubing running along the drain. I don’t think I will bother with that.
That's awesome. Thank you for sharing it educates as well as inspires.
