And now everything is level

After an eternity using a laser and making sure we have a slope of 1cm per meter we now have the base layer done :) If I understand correctly I now need to rent a machine to compact everything tightly before putting the visqueen layer and the armature.
A French drain?
I think an actual French drain requires some kind of pierced tubing running along the drain. I don’t think I will bother with that.
One of the coolest French drains I've seen is just breathable yard cloth wrapped around rocks.
Just keeps dirt out of it. And water flowing
That’s exactly what I have foreseen :) I saw another post a while ago showing that and I had geotextile in excess so I used it with the remaining of the rocks we had around.
