A big concern on a project is how to keep water away from your foundation. So if you're planning to do your backyard or outdoor living, you wanna make sure all the water from the roof is collected on a draining system. If you're doing a patio or pavers or hardscaping around the house, you have to do surface drain all through the patio. So you collect all the water, and the water is away from your house. And has to have a minimum slope of 2% that will help no water on your foundation.
And at the same time, it will save you money not having to, not having to repair a foundation crack or having water under your crawl base. If you don't do the draining, you're gonna end up having cracks on your foundation water on your crawl space and your outdoor living is not gonna last. So make sure if you're preparing to do your backyard, your landscaping have draining system, which is an important fact for your outdoor living.
