What happens here
Begin by assessing the paver patio and pool deck area, noting any flat sections where water might pool due to rainfall or pool activities. Confirm the absence of traditional surface or strip drains. This initial assessment is crucial for understanding the natural flow of water and identifying specific areas that require improved drainage, particularly along the edges of the patio or adjacent to the pool.
Goal: Identify areas needing permeable drainage and understand the existing patio and pool layout.
Tools and materials
- Level — To check for flatness and potential water pooling areas
- Measuring tape — To measure patio dimensions if planning a new layout or calculating materials
