THE PROBLEM

This is a drainage project in Earswick, York. Extensive water logging was an issue and the customer could not use the large gardens for most of the year.  The lawn was in a poor state with a large percentage of moss present.

THE SOLUTION

French drains were installed to manage the water levels and direct all excess water away from the property. Boards were used to protect the lawn and a digger was used to dig the drains.  Over 20 tonnes of soil was removed and replaced with gravel lined drainage. The project took 5 days to complete.

THE RESULT

The image opposite is just after we had finished relaying the turf we had originally removed.  Little damage has been done allowing the lawn to grow once more.

The elimination of standing water has resulted in a quality lawn allowing the customer to use their garden all year round.
