ᐅ What kind of gravel drainage or gravel gutter have you installed?

Created on: 18 Aug 2017 08:26

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?

Around 18,000. Included are 90 sqm (970 sq ft) of paving, granite curbs all around, a 20-meter (65 ft) granite retaining wall, and an entrance platform. I made the granite gravel for the splash protection myself, as the landscaping companies wanted exorbitant prices for it...

By the way, our lawn also grows very poorly right next to the curbs, where the roof overhang causes dryness. The concrete seems to almost suck the moisture out of the soil. In the photo, the lawn is further away, where it grows fine.

Here is our version with granite. Shortly after the rain. Moss could probably be removed with a pressure washer if the stones are large enough. I just noticed that the gravel has settled a bit. I need to top it up again.

That’s true, the stones have settled for me as well.
