Hey,

Currently, it looks like in the picture. Now I would like to complete the splash protection.

A dimpled membrane will be installed vertically along the house wall, positioned in front of the membrane that is already in place. However, I don’t want to fill the entire area with the decorative stones. Instead, I am considering applying a layer of another material at the bottom—what material would be suitable for this? On top of that, I would place a geotextile fabric, and then the decorative stones. This way, the decorative stones would not be located in the invisible section.

Will this setup still allow proper water drainage, especially since there is quite a bit of concrete on the inner side?

Would someone be able to provide advice on this? Also, what color would work well for the decorative stones on top?

Thanks!

I simply ordered too much concrete, and my helpful assistants wanted to use it all to ensure everything is securely built.

After the concrete cleanup, it looks like this ...

It was worth it after all. In my opinion, this is sufficient.

That would have been my question...

So, can I start filling in the gravel now?

By the way, how should I handle this? Does the gravel need to be of a certain size to prevent anything from falling through? Because this will be covered up...

Don’t forget to lay a membrane to protect the wall.
