Hi, i have drawn out a rough scetch on what im wanting around my house, i am having trouble with were to put my aco drains the front garden of house slopes down slighty but will be levelling this off with sleepers, back garden is flat along with the side between house and garage, also not sure on which way to slope the block paving, as it goes all around house. Thank you

Wherever possible run the water away from the house.
You could run a acco all the way down the side of the house but where the slabs are that needs to fall away.
Reason being if you get a problem the water will fill the acco but still be able to drain away from the house and stop the brickwork getting wet .
Use deeper accos if you can ,if you have to put them at the house .
If you have good soil and not clay ,you could run a 100mm pipe to a decent soak away for extra protection if your using the house rain water drainage .if that got overwhelmed or simply blocked.
