I am inquiring about how someone would go about draining a sunken patio, and what type of drain or drainage-type construction it would need.
The site is very large and the sunken patio (only a step below grade) is about 100 square meters. It is in the center of the site and approximately half of it borders natural ground (fertile, but dry soil). The other half borders connecting patio paths, etc.
Would drainage straight into the groundwater be possible? I know I need some sort of drainage (even if only minor amounts) because I don't want rain water run-off to "flood" this area. Please help. Thanks.
