Bad Drainage
Sometimes, we don’t receive something as we expected. Even more so when it comes to buying a house, you can get all the surveys in the world. Yet if the external factor causing a problem doesn’t show up, there is nothing we can do. After all, the deal is done. This is the issue facing our most recent client. We believe every garden issue has a solution, it’s a matter of identifying and figuring out a fix.
Let’s take a step back and look at what the issue was, and how we were able to help this customer.
Our client had an issue with bad drainage, being at the bottom of a row of houses, everyone’s water would flow in, leaving detrimental effects, and making their outdoor space unusable. Now this is a problem, but it’s a new build, “the building firm would be able to help sort this out” she thought. Sadly that wasn’t the case, and the housing company refused to do anything to help.
It was in a bad way when we had rain, the water was flowing through the wall like a tap and just sitting in the garden. It should have had drainage installed taking it around the front of the house… This wasn’t done. Additionally, even with this being done there would still be an issue of water in the garden having nowhere to dissipate too.
Luckily we are a small company, and have compassion for issues like this and want to help where we can. We know gardens, and we knew we would be the perfect company to sort this whole mess out…
We started this grass installation not with the grass but with a trench and ACO drainage around the perimeter. We forced the neighbour’s garden out to the front of the property for proper drainage, which was crucial for creating an outdoor area that would not hold water.
This was the main problem, which would surely fix 99% of the issues regarding flooding and standing water. From here, the rest of this installation was as standard. We dug off the area, installed our 2-layer base works to further aid the drainage in the garden, and finished it off with a membrane and our stunning artificial grass on top.
The customer was overjoyed with this. Furthermore, to better prove this has fixed the problem. The area we were in garnered a massive month’s worth of rainfall in a day. Even with this, the customer garden stayed flood-free, and the water dissipated as soon as it landed, leaving no flood behind.
