The French drain was installed through the center of the floor area, and that drain--along with the new gutter downspout installed on the front of the house--were all channeled to a dry well dug on the low spot on the property.
Then gravel was installed as a floor base, and random, large pieces of fieldstone were laid for the floor areas.
Finally, several inches of pea gravel were added as top dressing, and to bring the level of the gravel up to the level of the large fieldstone pieces.
This entry pad will be mortared with a swept-in, flexible epoxy grout to help resist cracking during the winter months.
In this photograph, the fence posts have been wrapped in cedar for extra heft.
Now, all that's left is the fence rails, caps and gate, then all wood will be painted white!
And yes, I couldn't resist adding a little whimsy! What in the world could be wrong with that?
