I'm in need of some design imput. my property is one acre and extremley flat, with existing watershed problems already. The design Idea in my my mind would be a loop going from the front to the back connected by the side of the house. <br />The idea in my head is to loop somewhere in the back yard raised up for viewing from back porch and go down the south side across the front and loop around the tree in the front yard on the north end the approximate diameter of the trees canopy 20 ft. The back yard is prone to flooding from rain as stated previously. I thought of incorporating a walkway along planter with gravel 24 inches deep with flagstones for a French drain effect. Keep in mind the moron who built the place did not slope away from the house hardly at all. Grade is 6 to 8 inches below the vinyl siding so the mounding of planting beds is limited. <br />I also thought of a siding going into the back of the garage next to the porch for easier accessibility of running. <br /> <br />Your thoughts and Ideas are appreciated <br />My original post included a map drawn with characters which when posted rearaged into jibberish. Sorry Troy
