Building a Trash-Can Wash-Down Pad With a Trapped Drain in a Pinellas Side Yard
A side-yard can pad that only sits level still holds rinse water and smells after collection day. PaverForge Hardscapes builds a sloped wash-down pad with a trapped drain so homeowners can hose cans without sending dirty water under the fence or into the paver joints of the main walk.
Slope, trap, and edge
The pad pitches to a heel-proof grate or a small catch that ties to an approved drain or a dry well, not to the neighbor. Edges are pinned so a loaded can does not walk the border. We keep the pad flush with the walk so it is not a trip on trash night.
Alley lots and HOA screening
On alley-loaded St. Pete lots the pad often doubles as the set-out strip. We size it for two cans plus a recycle bin, leave a screen-wall footing pocket if the HOA requires enclosure, and protect the driveway throat while the pad cures.
