Lawn drainage company Buckinghamshire

Lawn drainage solutions are one of our most frequent drainage enquiries. Everybody wants the perfect lawn for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
​
However, lawns are one of the first outdoor surfaces to suffer from a garden with poor drainage. Saturated lawns can soon become saturated and boggy which leads to mud patches and bogginess. Very often, the solution is to incorporate a multipronged approach. 
​

This typically combines a lawn drainage system with a free, draining, topsoil, layer.

The lawn drainage system usually comprises of drainage channels which feed into a landscape soakaway. Our lawn drainage company has lots of experience installing such lawn drainage systems.
​
The drainage system is often finished with a new, free draining, topsoil, layer under a new level lawn. This consists of a sand drainage layer underneath a humus rich topsoil layer. A new lawn can then be laid perfectly level on top.

Patio drainage Company in Buckinghamshire

Water runoff from hard surfaces is one of the main contributing factors of poor garden drainage. Therefore, before installing a new patio you must have an effective patio drainage strategy in place.

Such a strategy will work levels to ensure water runs away freely to a suitable location or storage vessel. 
​

Many old drainage networks can no longer accommodate any extra storm water capacity. This means they regularly become over loaded in times of heavy rain and discharge pollutants into natural watercourses.

​Consequently, it is vital all new patios and driveways have their very own drainage system.

​ Patio drainage systems typically consist of grated drainage gulley’s channels and soakaways. Our patio drainage experts know exactly how to design and implement effective drainage systems.

French drain installation Buckinghamshire

French drainas are an effective way to drain large areas of boggy ground. These consist of long, narrow, trenches around 500mm deep.

Large, perforated, drainage pipes around 100mm in diameter are then laid into the trenches and backfilled with free draining gravel. The gravels are then capped with silt, filtration membrane and then topped with soil. These drainage channels have two main functions:

1. To collectively act as a large void where access water is to escape and be absorbed.
2. Provide a route of travel for landscape and ground water to escape from an area. 

Our garden drainage company are experts in positioning and installing landscape drainage channels. These are primarily utilised to provide extra drainage for lawns and flower borders.

Sustainable landscape drainage in Buckinghamshire

​Most local authorities require new developments and landscaping projects to opt for sustainable drainage solutions and installations.  This is because in the past many developments channelled urban storm water into the local drainage network.

This washed dangerous metals, chemicals and other pollutants into natural water courses. Consequently, sustainable drainage solutions typically reduce surface run off and allow storm water to drain back into the landscape. 

This can be achieved with installations such as permeable paving, soakaways, or seasonal flooding wetlands or retention ponds. Here at Buckinghamshire Landscape gardeners we understand the importance of a clean and safe environment for future generations.
​
We are experts at both designing and installing sustainable garden drainage systems.
