block paved driveway All manner of questions and solutions to problems and issues surrounding the subject of brickwork, blockwork and stonework

Our block paved driveway inclines towards our garage causing it to flood each time we have sudden heavy downpours - last night was especially bad! Could I dig a channel on one side of the drive alongside a wall to help with drainage? Any suggestions/ideas/advice will be gratefully received many thanks. PS the wall is 2ft high and not in great shape!

there is a specially designed drainage system for this job.
there are many types the one I have used is aco drainage it comes in 1.2 metre lengths and can be connected to your main surface water drain.
it has a metal grille and is 150mm deep.
