    I don't think the concrete is visually unappealing at all. By the time the residents put out some chairs and some flowers, you won't even notice it.

      I agree a flap valve is the solution. But you still need to prevent people putting there foot in the hole and twisting their ankle. A flat grating level with the top of the pipe downstream of a flap valve maybe could have been a solution here. Then you could lift the grating to get to the valve if it gets clogged with twigs and the concrete could be profiled so there was less chance of a trip or ankle twisting hazard.

    The cement looks fine; much better than asphalt. This highlights how important it is to account for drainage in new construction. That is an area you could consult and construct solutions. And you have to be there during the pour to assure your plan is 100% followed. A laser level might help in bigger projects.

    Shawn, I’ve actually seen a few outfalls here in wisconsin that have “hinged” covers on them. Prevents rodents from going in when it’s not flowing, and when it is, it pops open to clear out any debris. Again, still needs maintenance and may not be the best for every situation, but it is an idea!

    I’ve learnt so much from watching your channel. I’m in the UK on clay soil and am applying some of the principles you’ve taught us to drain water away from our building. In the UK we’re not allowed to have rainwater flow over our neighbours property. We either have to hook into the main storm water drains or have a soak-a-way buried under our garden. We are also lucky in that we can collect the water in rainwater harvesting systems to use for washing clothes, flushing toilets and watering the garden in summer.

This has to be one of the most extensive concrete jobs.. so all day, multi day. When people get tired, quality can fall.

    Worth it yes. And for that green grate, that was exactly what I was thinking. Keep it covered for safety but open the bottom. You know what they say, great minds think alike!

    The "sea of cement" provides nice patios for the tenants. Some attractive pots with trees and plants will make it look even nicer. Definitely better than having your home flooded.

    Pro tip: IIf you want to compact dirt with the mini Bobcat, fill the bucket with dirt. More weight, more compaction. :)

      @@jeepinass You can see in the timelapse video that it indeed does compaction. Sure tracked vehicles spread the weight over a wider area, but there still is weight.

    A fun video might be how people landscape these "seas of concrete" with planters, and potted plants, and benches, and shade, etc. etc. etc. Both in theory, and how your clients have done it. I think it's a fun design challenge that you could dive into.
