Hello everyone,
I will be laying new concrete for my backyard. The leveling work has almost been done by the concreter.
However, I notice the concrete surface will be just below my brick vent. I think he said the surface will be sloping away from the house.
Is this OK? Or I need to let the concreter box out this area around my wall and put pebble or mulch instead there there will enough clearance from vent.
My house is on a slope and on stump. Through these vents I can see joist behind (5-10cm away).
Cheers

Thanks mate. Trying to get more information before I made the decision. Cheers.
It will be neat but you won't have much freeboard. At least they are not weep holes. Are you in a high intensity rainfall region?
The regulatory slope is only required over the first 1 metre away from the house but you also need to consider surface drainage because the wall will also collect water when facing the weather. I take it that the surface will slope towards the grate.
The DPC is to stop rising damp.
