Man, I feel this! We live on a very sloped yard, but if we don’t direct the water flow the correct way, we end up with a near pool where you don’t want one. We hired someone to install a drain that redirects the water to a ravine. That was money well spent.
One of these days, I’d almost like to have a natural pool. That maybe is a pipe dream, or else very expensive, but it would be cool to have a rocky creek path that leads to a pool at the bottom. I bet somebody with a creative brain could help us do this, but it would probably be a pretty big project. Just dreaming here.
No such thing as a slope here... :-(
