Hi All

Looking at draining the driveway by putting the surface water in a drain to front.
Looking for some general advice. See sketch. Is wavin piping best to use everywhere including under lawn? Mate was telling me land drainage pipe is ok for a few year but can get clogged up after that. I was thinking of steel road gullies as they would be stronger?. I was going to put a gravel finish on it for now but leave it in such a way that I could tar it in years to come. Of course I will be using drainage stones around pipes which is not shown on sketch. And an access point for rodding.
I may need to dig a bit out of drain to give more volume.
Driveway is large. About 1000sqm. so say 6 inch diameter pipes for the most part.

Cheers
