Hi Karen
Sorry im not in Kent but i think its not so much a land drain specialist you need but a good landscaper with experience of land drains, sumps and soak aways.
If you are still stuck perhaps it may be helpfully to post some pics/more detailed info on the project for members to advice you on what is required in order to select the correct contractor for the job
Hope that helps
Hi Karen,
I've some experience of successfully constructing French drains, soakaways and even a small rain garden, but I'm by no means a hydrogeologist or claim to be a 'specialist' in that particular field. ;)
That said, only 30 miles away for me along the A21, so would be more than happy to consider going up and taking a look, given more detail?
Just noticed the date of your post, so you may well be sorted by now. If not, please PM if you think I can be of help?

Karen,
Just for general interest, the Turf Teq Edger/Trencher will dig shallow trenches which can be filled with gravel. The machine is compact, walk-behind and runs on tyres so creates no grass damage other than the trench itself. A typical solution would be to dig 175mm deep (that's the max) x 50mm wide. The trenches can be run in a herringbone pattern and linked into a central, larger, drain. I am not a drainage expert (!), but this is the way many of our clients have used the machine. Have a look at www.groundscare-products.co.uk and the attached photo.
