Drive drain on block paving

[Adam Ashworth]

hello,

As a few of you know i will be having ago at my drive shorty and a concerned about a few things, most of which you have answered - thanks for that.

My drive will slope towards the house, so before the house i will be putting a aco drive drain in along the front (but will have a layer of edging touching the house) this wil run into a soakaway. I have read on here that the edging is concreted on the sub base but how can i compact my MOT type 1, lay the edging and then fit the drive drain on because surely this must have to be done before i even put the MOT down so i can connect it up to the drainage pipework? Do you need mot under the drive drain? I see on here it should be laid on 100mm of concrete but what about under the concrete?

If i lay my drain in first i wont be able to compact my type 1 at the front for the house (inbetween the drain and the house)

Hope i am making sense. Thanks for all your advise

2 options stone it up dig through the mot and lay or dig out lay it and the concrete is fine going on good firm ground

I'd favour the dig it out, stone it up and dig through the stone option. Add/trim the stone to final level after installation of said drainage.
