Landscaping/Drainage Job in TN15 N.West Kent

Posted by Richard@www.seasons-garden.co.uk on January 25, 2011 at 4:11pm in Landscaping

A regular private client of mine has a drainage issue following on from the extensive Landscaping to their new build house approx 2 yrs ago.

I took over the maintenance contract from the existing firm who subbed out much of the work including the maintenance.

Large expanses of lawn and planting beds are waterlogged and many plants are dying. The actual hard landscaping is OK but planting & drainage is amateurish to be polite.

 

All standing water from large patios drains into steeply sloped beds which run into lawns. Subsoil is compacted sand and probably clay under that being typical of this area.

 

It's a large job and a job beyond my capabilities to put it right so if anyone is willing to have a look please let me know.

    Hello,

    What happened in the end to rectify this problem? I think I have a similar problem on a garden I am putting down two patios before planting quite a few plants.

    I need to solve it before I finish the patio and plant or I suapect all the plants will die.

    cheers

    Justin
