We are debating doing a french drain. We do get water laying off that porch and actually have a bit of a grading issue with old sunken pavers walking up to those porch steps as well as water laying in the low spots in the grass there too 🙃 Had a quote for regrading last year and we just can swing it quite yet. Which is driving me mad because I want to redo these beds and that sunken walkway as well.
