Hi
Could somebody please offer some advice.
I have a problem with standing water on a path at the rear of my property. the problem is due to the path sloping away from the house and meeting a garden that slopes towards the house. the grass is approx 5" above the level of the path edge and we have put log roll along to edge it with some gravel. I do have a rodding outlet at the far end of the path which actually ends about 12 inches above the path level in a kind of border. I have done some searching but wanted to double check before doing anything.
Would it be ok to create a "collector drain" between the edge of the path and the grass and run the the corrugated pipe along the length of the path to terminate into the plastic rodding pipe.
If so, does the collector drain need to be very deep as I don't like excavating too deep beside my house.
many thanks in advance.
