Thats only half the job, septic tank run off pipe was running up hill 200mm in 4 m, tank would not drain,
The guy was a local "drain expert" so he told the lady...
3 days later job was put right, take longer to put it right than do it to start with MSH

No shingle or at worst a fine aggregate either.

..and that alkathene water pipe is nowhere near a metre deep!
How can anyone lay pipes like that? Was it a case of dig-out-and-lay one pipe at a time? If you have a full-length trench, it's so much easier to lay to a regular gradient and a straight line, even if you don't have the luxury of a hi-tech string line.
