Hello,

I just got someone to pour my patio, about 500 sqft. It is added on to an existing patio. One reason for the added patio was to help drainage. The lowest point on the new patio is about 2.5 inches well below the ground/grass. I am planning to regrade the grass surrounding the patio, but does anyone have any other ideas before I start? I'd really like to avoid putting a drain (channel drain?), but that would be one option.

Thanks in advance. I am new to the forum.
