We have an entrance door at the bottom of a sloping ground. Each time when it rains, water, mud and debris run down the slope and collects just outside the entrance door. The garden bed next to the entrance is slowly filling up with mud from the runoff.
What is the best solution to stabilise the slope and/or to prevent further dump of soil at the low point, ie. at the entrance door?
Update: Resolution of Muddy Runoff
A couple years ago, I posted this problem about one of our entrance area getting flooded by water/mud/debris runoff from adjacent garden slope.
We have finally managed to resolve this problem and it seemed to be working.
Drainage installed in slab (lowest point) and connected to adjacent stormwater drain, and large timber edging pieces to act as retaining wall to prevent runoff. Most economical solution.
These were installed about a year ago but I haven’t been on this Workshop forum for a while.
Thank you to all who have contributed with your helpful suggestions.
