Jul 21, 2016 at 16:57 comment added kevinskio @anset need to know how cold it gets and the soil type to suggest how deep a walkway base should be. For the drain pipe you want to place it where water sheds from the roof or where the downspouts drain. This is normally several feet out from the footer.
Jul 21, 2016 at 14:57 comment added anset Also , should the drain pipe be beside the footer of the house , or directly on the footer ?
Jul 21, 2016 at 14:51 comment added anset Thanks for your reply ! I was planning on using just gravel for drainage around the foundation. I think your drain pipe suggestion is a better one. I'll include that in the project. Isn't a 6" trench enough for a walkway ? Should I go deeper , say , 8 " ?
