What were they thinking? How the hell am I and my visitors going to be able to walk on the path wearing heels???
Drain in garden path????
Page 1 of 1
My builders have started to landscape our front courtyard and have made a foot path to the front door. I am kind of in shock, as there is a massive drain grate right in the middle of it. Surely this is some sort of OHS risk? and they can't leave it like this???

Doesn't look straight either.
It also reminds me of a cattle grate. Your version will keep out stiletto wearers...

Good God what WERE they thinking....and it does look crooked.
We have one of these down our side path, but it's right at the end of the path, certainly wouldn't want one at my front door. It looks pretty permanent to me M!ssy and I don't know how you could change it now, but I would be giving it a damn good try. I wouldn't be one bit happy.

Oh no M!ssy!
Missy,
Looks like pavers...is it?
If so its an easy fix...
Even if it is concrete it is still fixable but harder.
It is definately crooked and will need to be fixed either way.
It is also far too large for that area. A drain half the size would be plenty..
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the replies. Yep not really happy.
I haven't seen a detailed plan for the rest of the landscaping, so maybe it is all part of a bigger plan I don't know about yet, but if its not and that is my entrance, going to see what can be done. Would not like to be sued by someone who has tripped on it and broken bones.
Emailing the builder now....
