block paving and garden wall advice

Gilbey

Hi I am laying a block paving. It runs out 7m from the house/footpath. I have a garden wall build around my paving area about 2/3 ft high. I will have a fall away from the house. I have no drainage near the wall where I am now think the water will go. .....

would it be possible to drill holes in the wall to let any water out?

Will water drain naturally between my block paving? I have no problem with standing water at present. ...

How about putting a break between the paving and the wall something like garden stone and have it about 150mm in depth might be enough to soak rain water away or run a drainage pipe

You could put a Soak pit at the lowest point of the fall then use some land drainage pipe to collect the water and run it to the soak pit. Cover the Drainage pipe with Stone chippings for appearance. It will work fine and look nice also.

You could drill holes and (hope) it works.. Or lay a lent of perforated pipe, and run it back to a gulley ( rain water pipe from roof of house) it would save you havering to take back up your cobbles if the water wasn't getting away quick enough.
