Hi, need a little bit of advice,

Getting rid of lawn at rear of semi-D and replacing with concrete, Area approx 6m x 6m. Was thinking of forming new yard gulley at centre of square and have the fall 1:60? going four ways to the centre, kind of forming a saucer shape.

Gulley will be connected to the house drainage system as water table is very high in clay soil.

Is this practical? Is one collection point at centre enough?
Kind of limited as to ways of directing run-off because of existing structures and levels.
Thanks for any advice.

All sounds OK to me if there are conflicting levels etc.

I take it you are connecting into the house stormwater system?

Thanks for replies,
Have no pics will try get some posted.

Will be connecting into combined system.
Normally fall would be end or cross fall never had to do this before! Existing extention and patio complicating levels.
Just concerned one centre collection point will be enough...should be ok as long as little jonnie dose'nt stuff mr teddy down the gulley!
Will have another look on Monday and try figure something out.
Thanks.
