Big Walnut Creek winds through Gahanna, and homes on lots that slope toward the creek or its tributaries often deal with runoff crossing the yard. For a patio, that means drainage gets planned before the pavers are picked. Much of the housing is 1960s through 1990s ranches, split-levels and two-stories, many with an aging concrete patio or a deck that is ready to come down. Newer homes on the north and east sides tend to want larger patios with fire features. Gahanna handles building permits through the city, and Olde Gahanna has its own design review for exterior changes.

That can mean pitching the patio to send water around it, extending downspouts, adding a drain at the low edge or raising the patio slightly with a deeper base. Building on saturated clay without fixing drainage is a common reason patios sink. A site visit helps pinpoint where the water comes from.
