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.
In Wimbledon, waterlogged lawns are common; French drains and soakaways help.
