Now that our little house is built, we are starting to think about the garden design.
So far, the only planned elements are a paved terrace and a paved entrance and parking area.
It’s important not to place backfill soil or, if applicable, gravel/paving stones directly against the brick wall to avoid moisture problems.
What would be the best solution for this?
As you can see in the picture, the basement was waterproofed with a bitumen coating and covered with rigid insulation boards in purple. Is it possible to apply the same bitumen coating up to the terrace door on the brick wall, or would there be a better option?

This seems a bit high for water drainage, but behind the brickwork there is rigid insulation slightly above the patio door threshold. Only above that is insulation wool.
How does it look on the side where the fill soil is directly adjacent? Does no capillary moisture rise up along the dimple membrane?
