You’re spot on about the underground stuff making or breaking a project. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen beautiful patios with hidden swamp zones underneath because someone skipped the “boring” part. The modular drainage cells are interesting—have you noticed if they hold up long-term? I’m always a little skeptical about new materials until I see them in action for a few seasons. Still, your attention to slope and fabric details is exactly what separates a quick fix from something that actually lasts. Keep at it—it’s the unglamorous work that saves headaches down the road.
