One day we were at the side of the house puzzling over what to do. We knew that we needed a drainage system, but we weren’t sure where to put it. We didn’t want to dig up the plantings we already had, and we knew that we shouldn’t plant on top of whatever system we installed because the roots would just clog the pipes. That’s when the small path we had created caught our attention. It was perfect. It already went from front to back and we wouldn’t have to worry about roots and dirt filling the piping. At that point it was just a small, one person wide, path, which was proving to be unsuitable anyway, so we set to work on designing something better.
