You might need a cut off drain or small soakwell near the front door/portico.

Just a heads up.
Nah relax there is soakwell and associated drain on either side of the front portico, but considering how often it rains its not even a concern really. The fake lawn actually will drain better than real grass as there are holes all thru the rubber backing.
