Dug a ditch this weekend for a driveway drain line I should have installed 6 years ago, About thirty feet long and two feet deep. All I have left to do tonite is back cut the sod pieces and replace them.
Next, I cut four feet of the concrete driveway and set flush drain scuppers. I will level with four inches of 1" minus, tamp solid and set 4" X 6"pavers 20 feet wide about 4 feet deep at the garage door. This should limit water going to the basement and take some load off of the sump system.
My two
car drive is completely cracked. planes are to break it up and haul away. I'll continue the pavers down to the street. Luckily, I live in a subdivision so, about 30 feet by 20 feet. The big job is removal and preparation. Laying pavers each evening when I come home will be, by comparison, almost relaxing. This is about $3,000.00 ( I don't have) of pavers and gravel so it will likely wait until next spring.
