Default Measuring the grade of a patio

IMO, 1/4 inch per foot slope is excessive and 1/2" per foot is a
disaster, which will be obvious to the the eye. Normal practice is
about 1/8" per foot, which is plenty for water to run off, which is all
you need.

You got it.

Just curious why the OP needs all this when a garden hose applied to
the patio in the presence of the contractor will make the point.
