Re: Laying paving slabs

You could ask them to dig a soakaway if your worried about drainage basically you dig a hole and fill it with porous materials eg rubble,gravel
then backfill with soil or just leave gravel on top, its not a proper drain as such but it can help get rid of standing water

Re: Laying paving slabs

Yes Primus, that's another idea, thank you. I'm waiting for the guy to get back to me with a price at the mo, then I'll talk to him about that.
