Plan Drainage and Hardscaping

As I've said, our goal this week, get this thing shingled, get that all tied up, and next week get into hardcaping when I'm going to be mostly not here. All right, so essentially, we have flush with this outside point of the pool. retaining wall. You can just say right there at that joint. Yeah. Just so like our cap doesn't, you know, we don't have like a 1 in sliver that goes all the way down there. You know what I mean? So yeah, over here. And let's see. So, what I want to do with with this here is our our drainage, which is connected is going to be connected to three down spouts. >> Yep. >> Right here, we're going to need to put a 45 on it, have it go a little bit lower um below our base material and then flatten out uh well, you know, still be pitched over there to our popup. Um, but here we're going to do uh a perforated pipe. So, we already have a pipe here. >> From here to the pop-up is >> perforated. So, we'll dig out a trench. We'll have like 6 in uh well like 4 in of stone below the pipe. The holes will be on the side of that pipe and we will have to ensconce it in uh a filter fabric because what I want is for >> 45 from here down 6 in perforated pipe >> down 6 in below our base. So we'll get to we'll get to base height. Yeah. Um what I want to do here is have our patio pitch away from the pool. So you know we'll still have a permeable joint material. So anything that goes in there is still coming this way and everything that runs off the top is going to kind of die here and it will go into this drain which is hidden underground and exit over there. So that's the idea there. Um >> how much of a pitch do you want on the patio? >> On the patio. Uh well, we're just going to go with 18 in down from here is our finished grade. >> 18 in down from top of deck >> from Yeah. finished deck. The real determination here of just how much space we want is I think 3 ft is enough space in front of this. Do you think they want to maximize this? Cuz this area right here is kind of dead. You know, we're going to have a wall here, retaining wall. It's going to be 18 in to probably about 2 ft off the ground here. And we're going to do a railing on top of it. So, they used to have steps that led down to here, but it's useless. So, we're going to have a railing on top of that retaining wall. We'll do 3 ft in front of this roughly. So, I think that puts us at about 8 and 1/2 ft from the house. So, yeah, right…
