"Biggest problem we've found is that you fill it in and make it lovely but as soon as we get some heavy downpours the soil has been so heavily compacted by the lorry its becomes waterlogged almost immediately 🤦♂️🙈"
"That's great Thankyou for the advice , it is a large area and it's an insurance job so budget is fine , going to order a load of soil , cheers "
"i find a metal detector useful in these incidents, also go over the actual bags of garden waste with it. The solution for me is that the secateurs are always put in the exact same door pocket of the truck after each job, if possible"

"Thats a right mess. I've done much smaller areas doing as you say .............. ground was a bit hard though so I used a spade to push the high bits at the rut sides into the hollows rather than tamping it all down. . "
"Stephen we also suffer with this type of damage on our sites on a regular basis. We've found the best way is to push the raised outer edges of the damage into the depression, this will fill the majority of the depression and as the ground is…"
