I'd happily pay someone to come around and help, just not sure who to call!
I live in a storm corridor, so not low intensity.

Thanks for the detailed response!
I live on an acreage, down a hill near a creek. I know water flows towards my house but for the most part it goes around…

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand? There isn't an incorrectly sloped path any more. Where is the gap you speak of?
I've heard that bricks can have water pass through them,…

I've had a similar thought...I'll have to play around with that!
I've got a spot next to the driveway which retains water and I'm going to install some drainage there…
