Hello,
I would like to have a parking space in front of my garage, so the driveway will be paved.
What I have not yet figured out: Which way does the slope run? Toward the garage or away from the garage?
Where does the drainage need to go?
Thank you,
Tom

Away from the garage. And usually the municipality requires a drainage channel at the property boundary anyway, so they don't have to dispose of your rainwater. This is mandatory for all sealed (i.e. paved, for example) surfaces.

Even if the answer sounds stupid: the slope runs from top to bottom, and the drainage must be at the lower end and still within your area of responsibility. Unfortunately, thanks to your "stingy" ;-) information policy, we don’t know which end is relatively higher. You’ll have to accept the street-side end of the section in question as the municipality lays out the boundary of the street area; that’s not negotiable. The garage-side end is only as flexible as you are, meaning: it depends on whether you belong to the house-garage-sliding door fanatics. I would connect the top edge of the finished garage floor to the driveway with low threshold, but depending on the slope or incline, it must be considered that rainwater, if the street lies higher, would have to be intercepted by a Birco channel or similar. I probably already told you that it’s wise not to approach the project from behind with salami-tactics of individual little questions, but to comprehensively supply those advising you so their diagnoses can actually hit the mark.

Always away from buildings and ideally into a green area. Sometimes the property spoils this plan and you have to work with gutters, then the question is where they are allowed to drain.

I find it all reasonable - but we have a rather damaged drainage in front of a garage, could it then be completely omitted with the appropriate slope? It still has to drain somewhere...
