In this video, mason Mark McCullough helps a couple prepare their backyard for an outdoor shower with a drainage system that’s sure to keep their foundation dry.
Outdoor showers are great after a day at the beach or even rinsing off around the pool. But, since they’re typically close to the house, it’s important that they drain well to prevent pudding and foundation damage. When a young couple decided to install an outdoor shower in their backyard, landscape contractor Jenn Nawada and mason Mark McCullough pitched in with a drainage solution.
