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.
Many Streatham Hill gardens sit on clay and slope towards the house; we redirect water away from walls.
