What happens here
The implemented solution is observed as a linear trench drain system running between the main patio area and the pool deck. This trench is filled with dark, angular decorative stone (possibly river rock or crushed basalt). The presenter indicates that both the patio and pool deck concrete are pitched towards this central trench. This design ensures that all water runoff from the surrounding hardscape areas is directed into this visually appealing, stone-filled channel. The stone serves as both a filter for larger debris and an aesthetic element.
Goal: Examine the visible components of the stormwater drainage solution
