Once everything was levelled out we created a drainage trench using 'tree socks' filled with course gravel. The grade was modified slightly to drain in this direction. Limestone screening was spread 4-8" thick and levelled with a slight grade to the back corner of the yard.
This layer was watered in and levelled again, then tamped down, watered and levelled, then tamped down...!
The 8' thick steps to the deck were put in place as well as the edge of the terrace step. We brought in a couple loads of soil to fill in the garden at the back edge of the patio and temporarily shored this up with layers of field stone.
We were now ready to set the stone in.
