Hi all excuse my grammar, I'm doing a driveway been in the building over20 years so not a novice maybe done about ten block paved drives working for others this is first on my own so maybe worry more than usual as it's my own money at stake ha ha. Anyway road slopes by about 200mm across front ,drive slopes back to garage where I've used acco in to soak away ,my concern is customer wants drive on one continuos plane from road to garage obviously causing it to fall in both directions not a problem in that water will fall of side of drive into flower beds and of front into acco,when I set lines up fall from left to right was quite extreme almost 200mm at road ,back to level at acco width is 3.5metres length is 12.5metres explained to customer and tweaked the lines got it to110mm at road end she is happy with it what I really want to know is have any you guys had similar experience ,althought it looks fine not 100% how the fall will look in both directions when laid I originally I was going to raise the edging on the lower side so as to lose the fall after a metre or so she not keen !sorry for rambling on hope you get what I'm saying cheers all
