Planter against structure #hardscape #Unilock

What happens here

The presenter briefly explains that any water collected by the pond liner, or that drains through the soil, will be directed 'straight down into our base stone' at the bottom of the planter. He notes that in Michigan, where the project is located, the native well-draining sand further assists in managing water, implying an effective drainage system to prevent water accumulation near the house foundation.

Goal: Direct collected moisture away from the foundation.
