I picked up a new lawn client that has a gravel driveway and walkway... left over from their addition they put on the house 5 years ago. They never had it paved because they constantly have groundwater coming up through the drive. I've almost sold them on a paver walkway and SRW for the front. Now I'd like to sell them on the paver driveway as well.

I was @ their house on a dry day, several days from the last rainstorm too. It was clear as day; there was water coming up through the driveway and running down to the street. My thought would be to put in a series of rows of 4" drainpipe/filtersock surrounded by trap rock in 3/4" traprock 12" thick. The driveway is 53' long, so I would put 11 rows (every 5') and daylight the pipe to the street catch basin. Then geotextile, 12" of base, and the normal 1" of sand.

I've never done a paver driveway before, but other than the upward groundwater movement here this one is pretty straight forward.

Thoughts & Comments Please.
