Clay-rich patches throughout CR5 create notorious drainage headaches, especially where older properties meet modern extensions. Those charming Edwardian homes near Coulsdon Common often sit on deceptively complex soil layers. Proper water management isn't just about dry feet – it's protecting your property's very foundations from the damage that standing water inflicts over time.
Modern drainage techniques blend seamlessly with existing landscapes. French drains snake discreetly beneath lawns, while soakaways handle surface water without disrupting established planting. Strategic placement of land drains intercepts water before it pools, channeling excess rainfall away from patios and conservatories. Each system responds to your garden's unique topography and soil composition.
Twenty years solving Coulsdon's trickiest drainage puzzles means recognising patterns others miss. From Chipstead Valley's spring-fed gardens to Purley's compacted urban plots, experience shapes every solution.
