Hi DIY not community,
I’ve recently installed this Floplast plastic debris gully, which will eventually be connected to the down pipe and was unsure how best to finish it at ground level.
The debris gully has been concreted in but I took the surface of the concrete up to ground level and perhaps shouldn’t have?
The gully and the soil around it will eventually be covered in gravel but I’d like the finishing to be as neat as possible.
Please do ignore the wrecked shuttering and cracking in the surface of the concrete. I used Postcrete and in attempt to manipulate it, likely added too much water.
Am I best chipping away the cracked concrete, re-concreting it, not taking the concrete up to ground level and then covering the surrounding with soil and gravel?
A lot of the YouTube videos I’ve found all seem to have paving or harder surfaces around the gully but hoping there’s a neat option for loose surfaces too?
Any suggestions much appreciated!
