Ideally I would like to drain the front garden away from the house to the pavement - but the pavement is above the level of the garden. I wonder therefore if I can drain into the flower beds. If I have the bed, then a brick edge, then gravel would this work? Is it correct to leave 'spacer' gaps in the brick edge to allow the water into the soil - or would the soil and gravel just get all mixed up? Should I be considering a soakaway instead - the soil is clay.
