Your garden, considered
Find where the water is coming from
Standing water usually has a cause: clay soil, a patio laid without falls, a downpipe discharging onto the lawn or water running from higher ground.
We find the source, then design drainage that collects and disposes of the water properly.
On sloping Hayes plots, water from higher ground needs intercepting.
