"Hi, would agree with perforated pipe within gravel filled trench, aka French Drain, the pipe can be shrouded in it's own sock to prevent fines getting in and yes the gravel should be surrounded on all four sides by Terram membrane. All as Ed say.

"At least sense has prevailed. Not wanting crocus to come through when the garden is at it's worst and the lawn is virtually dormant seemed a strange request."
"Simple stuff first. Pipe is called perforated pipe. Comes generally in 60mm, 80mm or 100mm diameter. I always use 100mm as it gives you increased capacity in eventof flash flood.

Read more…ground water coming up through paving
I'm quoting to replace a patio. With all the winter wet there hs appeared a 'spring' at the foot of some steps, the area is cut into quite a long slope. Is the answer to lay some sort of permeable pipe along the foot of the retaining wall either below the paving or in a narow gravel ditch? if so what's the right sort of pipe to use and is it best to lay and point with mortar or lay on sand (butt joined).All advice gratefully recieved!

However loads of small crocus bulbs have come up. Can I successfully use Roundup on them?, Or am i going to have to dig up every individual bulb....ie hundreds?ThanksAdam

Read more…Tree pruning/cutting
I would really appreciate some advice with this one. I have 2 jobs booked in next week, which are very similar. Both customers have trees which have thin branches growing upwards that they would like cut back in rder to keep the trees small and in shape. I can see where the previous pruning has taken place. A couple of question:1. Do I cut back just below the previous pruning cut? This would save a considerable amount of work, as branches have grown out from the previous cut. Or, do I cut back…
