    Despite the horrible drainage and the rain you did a superb job! It is a beautiful property. I am sure the owners were thrilled. It was nice of you to throw in the paths and cement area too. You are a class act! Stay safe out there.

    I don’t know how I ended up watching this video, however; I did, and you Sir grafted. What a first class job you have done. If I needed this kind of work done, based on this video, I would hire you!
    Keep it up, and wishing you continued success. All the best to you and yours. 👍👍👍

    A good idea discussing the clogged drain, lack of drains, drainage patterns, creating a possible "game plan". The number of variables that can add-in sometimes is almost funny, in this case, possibly low water pressure, sludge, poor drainage. As far as the paving, it looks like it will turn out well. 14:26 we have a clean area contrasted with still-to-go. It looks nice. Perhaps if they have you back to do the India Sandstone later, you could do the wood furniture as well. It already looks like the fence was improving. That was an enjoyable job. You beat the difficulties, the place is much renewed. Nice work.

    What I loved about this particular video (apart from the Ginja Ninja) was the way you transformed an eyesore driveway (which really did bring down the otherwise beautiful gardens) into a statement driveway worthy of the balance of the gardens. A wise choice from the owners to think twice about changing the whole thing. I also particularly loved how you took us through the complexities of drainage and the way you think out solutions - you must go through this planning process on all of your jobs and its really nice to hear your thought process. Love your work (particularly loved the mossy roof in the forest!)

    I was hoping you'd PW the garden bench, I like seeing the transformation on furniture, and maybe a bit of the fence to see if they'd change ther mind about replacing that too. If the posts & pickets are sound good wood it would only need a new coat of stain or paint which is less expense than a new fence and would save them even more money.

    Homeowners....one word...DRAINAGE. If you are hiring someone to do work that will require adequate drainage, check your drains. Weathermen...one word...ACCURACY. Tradesmen depend on accuracy when scheduling work, get it right. Okay, putting my soapbox away. Nick...another fantastic job. Drainage issues aside, you did save them thousands by giving them back a brand-new-looking driveway. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      Was thinking and about to post the same. I've watched several of the jet washing people on here bemoaning the lack of drainage when there clearly appears to be a sewer access cover available to flush the waste water down, but they never use it. Given what normally goes down sewers I can't see how there would be an issue with putting dirty water into it.

    • @PrestigeExternalCleaning

      oh, ok I am from the US and didn't realize those where manhole covers for sewage or electrical or gas line that are hidden underground but your answer actually makes more sense! I thought it might be a massive drain pit for the driveway for when it needs cleaning and the main drains are backed up!
