My question is what to put over the gravel drainage bed before
backfilling .


Landscape fabric -- if the original pipe doesn't have a "pipe sock"
over the already installed pipe.

The screen will allow further drainage.


+1 I hope he doesn't argue with us.


Nah , I just have a problem with people that think they know better when
they have absolutely no idea of the actual conditions here . Chances were
slim that I'd ever have a problem if I'd done nothing at all to the block
walls . As far as water table I believe it's down there a ways since we're
on a slope -my well has water over 25 feet down , but I don't know if that's
pertinent .
