Hello!
Ok firstly new build alert... so please keep that in mind...

So I'm having my garden redone so I'm having some people out giving quotes etc. Two people have commented that my damp proof course is pretty much ground level so they're adding £500 to run a french drain around the garden side of the property. Is there any legislation around this? Looking online there seems to be a suggestion this should be 6" off the ground but it's pretty level. Any help and advice appreciated.
 
So do I have any recourse? Looking online they say 150mm which is much less than two bricks? I want to know what I can go back to them with.
 
So here are the pictures... Really hard to see but it's pretty much flush with the ground in my eyes
