I have designed a small gravel area that curves with a brick edging, as an extension to my clients existing patio. My client is concerned about how this would look after a heavy downpour, particularly as his garden suffers from flooding when it rains for days.He has asked me if he can see an example of a gravel terrace somewhere locally, preferably somewhere that he can visit.Any ideas ? the area is Brentwood Essex.ThanksGlennSee More
