We are almost finished with our outbuilding now. We are considering what to do as a base edge at the bottom of the walls in the areas that won’t be paved (about 50%).
Normally, a gravel drainage edge would be common. However, I’m unsure if the effort is really necessary. The bricklayer mentioned something about "edging stones," but I can’t really imagine what that means.
What have you done in similar situations, and does anyone know of other options? Does anyone have lawn right up to the base of the wall? If so, how is the wall protected? Any pictures?
