A little tiered patio walkway to ease the transition down to the pool deck?? Don't mind if I do!!
What happens here
Carefully place the pre-formed linear drainage channels into the prepared and leveled trench. Start from the lowest point of the slope and work your way up, connecting the channel sections. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the drainage channels into their final position, ensuring they are perfectly level with each other and at the correct grade to facilitate water flow. Use a level to constantly check alignment and grade.
Goal: Integrate the drainage system into the patio's design.
