Garden is Waterlogged! Drainage Issues and Installing Artificial Grass

We can’t quite believe we are pushing onto July either! Experiencing the horrendous rain we have had over the past week, it is hard to contemplate that we are actually in summer (typical British weather!). One day of glorious sunshine followed by several days of flooding which can cause havoc with our gardens. As we wake up in the mornings tipping out water from overflown, flooded plant pots and trying to avoid the lawn ‘squelching’ under our wellies we can’t help but think… what on earth is the garden going to look like next week.

A flooded garden can often be the root of many problems including patchy grass.

Bad Drainage in Gardens

Unfortunately for some of us, we are prone to bad drainage problems in our gardens. Maybe every time it rains you have a waterlogged area in the garden that simply needs to dry out with the slow appearing sunshine. Often gardens are not level meaning a corner could always become flooded.

This is something that may refrain people from getting their new artificial lawn installed- but it doesn’t need to be.

My Garden Floods- Can I Still Get Artificial Grass?

Yes! During our on-site quote, we carefully examine the areas that are prone to flooding and then come up with a detailed drainage system. Whether that is something as simple as levelling the garden, or something slightly more complex such as installing a drainage system. We have it covered! And did you know that our artificial turf is self-draining? Which means that the fully perforated backing allows the water to be drained through effortlessly.

In fact, artificial grass can often be the solution to your waterlogged garden problems. For a more thorough discussion on this, or to book in for your free on-site consultation, please give us a call on 01642 713 555 or complete the form on our contact page and we will be in touch.
