I would have thought theyd of dug those pipes a bit further down to be honest, as it looks by the time theyve put some shingle over the top and then soil + grass its going to raise the whole level up quite a chunk?

There probably would have been a case for artificial turf here, as it would allowed for the ground not being raised as high.
There's got to be at least another 4 inches of soil/turf to go on top yet?
Can you imagine the next owner of the house trying to dig a flowerbed or something and meeting all this plastic piping.
It's definitely heading in a better direction, but he's absolutely gone OTT with that piping.
Are they back to accepting cups of tea/coffee?![]()
Stick a plant pot on it, will look nice them.
75mm should be fine with the aco drain thereI'd raise that it should be 150mm below damp proof course and currently you're only 75mm below
No only on one side so in fairness to him it was never going to be easy to get a nice finish.Are there drainage points at two ends of the ACO? As they could have ended the ACO either side of the downpipe and just notched the paver slightly to allow for the downpipe, that would be my preferred option.
He has sealed the bottom of the airbrick between the aco and airbrick, not the entire air brick itself. Air can still enter it.Whe he tells you he has sealed the airbricks that doesn't mean that he has sealed them up does it? They are there for a reason.
I would love to see the cost breakdown and understand their margin. I'd say it is far from cheap.Not sure why everyone's saying he's paid too much. £15k is pretty cheap for a job like that (if done right of course). This is 2023 not 2015.
I would just use a strimmer on a lawn that size.Isn't it going to be a pain to cut the grass where the edge gets right to the wall?
