Aren't those drainage stones? Why the fuck would you want to remove them?

Usually, yes. Thats a rather broad strip for it, though.

>drainage stones
Why would anyone want to drain water down next to a foundation?

dont remove them, theyre probably there for a reason. do a think about for a minute. show the roof line above that spot, im betting no overhang, and no eaves-trough, the stones are there to keep the fall off from the roof from splattering the house with dirt and digging a trench along the wall that will hold water

Because there's a drain down there that takes the water away from the house, instead of having it pool near the house.

French drain below. Many people remove the stones above it, shovel on soil, and plant flowers then have water issues inside.

gutters or gravel thats the code

its decorative. a french would be in a valley, not the crest of a sloping hill

>> No.1792072

>>1791524
the slope doesn't make a difference if its made of rocks man. if you have a bunch of rocks that are at a higher level than the soil in front of them, the water is still going to permeate the rocks not magically slide downwards towards teh soil
