What happens here
Below the installed spouts, create a hidden water collection zone by filling the area above the drain basin with decorative pebbles. The video shows "Mexican beach pebbles" being used. These pebbles serve to obscure the basin while allowing water to freely drain through them, mimicking a natural streambed and preventing exposed standing water.
Goal: Conceal the water basin and provide aesthetic drainage
Tools and materials
- Landscape Fabric — Separating the pebbles from the underlying basin, preventing soil erosion and pump clogging
- Mexican Beach Pebbles — Aesthetic ground cover and water drainage
- Rake — Spreading and leveling the pebbles
- Wheelbarrow — Transporting pebbles to the installation site
