Project description
Please come out and look at the site: check the slopes and propose a solution. What I have in mind is channel drains with grates along the path and across the driveway at the gate, a silt trap, a catch basin, and an outlet either into the drainage ditch or into a storage tank I can use for watering. I want rain inlets under the downspouts and a proper blind area sloping away from the house. Please bring a drawing on paper and explain why it is laid out that way: where the water goes, what fall you are giving each run, and what happens in a downpour.
Conditions I ask you to accept:
— water must not be discharged onto the neighbouring plot or into someone else's ditch: the discharge point is agreed in advance, and the rules on surface water runoff are checked before any work starts;
— before digging we establish where the electric cable, the gas line and the water main run - nothing is dug blind;
— a trench deeper than one metre needs its walls shored, and in crumbling soil nobody climbs into it;
— after laying: backfill with compaction, the lawn restored and the site cleaned up;
— in your reply please give the schedule, the budget, the full scope of work and what the warranty covers.
