I put in a raised brick paver patio, first one. Its 2ft at its highest point. But i didnt put a drain pipe on the inside of the wall. Now iam getting water coming from under the wall on the outside and its killing the grass. I did drill holes in the wall that are 1" in diam about 3" off the ground. And used 21aa for fill. Iam no rocket man, but think that i will have to dig up the pavers and put a drain pipe in at the bottom along the inside of the wall. Also the ground is all clay. Any help :( patio is 25ft/32ft
