The perimeter of my porch has bluestone tread. The length right in front of the front door, where you step up, has a slight "well" near the edge that holds water (about 2 feet long). Since the porch is on the north side of the house, it is sometimes very slow to dry. I'm concerned about icing in the winter as it couldn't be in a worse spot. The tread is pitched correctly and all other treads drain appropriately (porch is 25' long).
I'm thinking I could use an orbital grinder to smooth the outer edge a little to allow the pooling water to drain properly. I would appreciate any input as to whether this is a good/bad idea. I certainly don't want to ruin the look.
