Job Description

Long story but we have a land drain which runs under our house, through to next door's garden where it exits into their manhole and from there into the sewer in the street. It has become blocked again, under next door's garden, and has backed up into our manhole and overflowed into foundations. This is now the third time this has happened. We want to put in a new manhole on our property where the land drain enters it, block the pipe which runs into the existing manhole completely and divert the water into our drain which runs alongside the house and into the street. This will then cut out the water's journey under our house, through next door and into the street.

Job Description

In brief, I need the front area/garden of my house redone. It's currently all crazy paving which is broken, cracked and raised up in areas. My neighbour to the right has a tree and the roots here mean I want to try and do something that avoids repaving that area - although they have said they don't mind if we cut through the root to take it out.

Existing Dimensions (all approximate):

Front width - 550 cms
Depth house to pavement - 350 cms
Very approx rise pavement to house - 80 cms

Initial thoughts re new layout - as you look at the house:

On the left hand side - front area taken down to ground level, with new retaining wall to neighbour's property. Ground level to be paved or concrete. Low level wall approximately half-way from neighbour's property towards path to house. This ground level area to be used to store three wheelie bins - to be pulled to gap in wall on collection days.

On the left hand side - rear area as current but resurfaced with paving and slight slope to allow for drainage.

Path - to remain in current location, but ground level at front (alongside new bin storage area) then rising to a small flight of steps to door. Paved.

Right hand side - layout as current ie: front area for plants and flowers, rear area to have wall surround and gravel in place of paving (due to roots from neighbour's tree).

I don't have any strong views on materials. This is a functional area so I want it to look reasonable, and be structurally sound, but don't want to pay for the highest priced finishes/materials. If any materials can be re-used, that would be even better.

I think I can add pictures after I’ve published this listing, which I shall do.
