Grading, drainage and a new retaining wall to stop runoff reaching the lower level of the house.

Segmental retaining wall and paved terrace built into a re-graded slope, with curved stone steps and planting above.

Water had been finding the lower level for two seasons. The fix was not waterproofing, it was grading.

We re-cut the slope behind the house, built a segmental retaining wall, and put in a French drain that daylights well clear of the foundation. Two wet seasons on, the lower level has stayed dry.
