Those puddles forming on your driveway aren't going anywhere on their own. SW11's dense urban landscape creates unique drainage challenges, especially for terraced houses where water has nowhere to go. Between the Thames flood risk and increasingly intense rainfall, proper surface water management has become essential for protecting your property value.
Permeable paving lets rainwater filter through naturally, while channel drains direct flow away from vulnerable areas. Rain gardens transform problem spots into attractive features that absorb excess water. French drains hidden beneath gravel paths solve waterlogging without disrupting your garden's appearance. Each solution gets tailored to your specific plot layout and soil conditions.
Twenty years solving drainage problems across Battersea means knowing exactly where water collects on different street gradients. Local knowledge matters when navigating planning requirements for front garden paving.
