Five Points of Consideration for Drainage Slope:

  1. Drainage slope should always be away from any structural components
  1. Improper drainage slope is the second leading cause of foundation moisture issues
  1. Driveway, sidewalk, patio surfaces all need to be sloped for drainage
  1. Planting beds and lawn surfaces all need to be sloped for drainage
  1. Gravel and bark mulch do not create proper surface drainage but rather allow water to drain through them
