There won’t be any ponding on this patio! Water is going to wicked away like a water slide!!

What happens here

Workers begin by placing sections of large-diameter white PVC pipes within the newly excavated trench. Wooden planks are strategically placed underneath the pipes and across the trench to provide temporary support and ensure the pipes are laid at the correct gradient, allowing water to flow by gravity.

Goal: After excavation, initial sections of PVC pipe are laid out in the trench and supported by wooden planks to maintain alignment and proper grading.
