I have excavated my drive and am now in the process of sorting out my edge between my drive and a shared drive. In the shared drive there is a drain that comes into my drive by about 3 inches refer to pic)
The level of my drive will be lower than the shared drive (due to my damp corse on my house). The top will be just above the orange screw driver in picture below.
I am going to put a kerb flush with the shared drive so when my blocks are laid i wont see the side of concrete/soil.
The problem i have is i dont know what to do where the drain is- do i run the kerb around it? Or can i lower the drain so my kerb line will be straight?
It could look a bit odd having a bit of concrete coming in then out of my drive? My neighbour has told me years back the drain collapsed which i think is why that slab is there? I did start to cut the slab but if i do i will expose the drain...
Any 1 got any advise.... ??? cheers
(i did put this post in block paving section) wasn't sure where was best?/)
