Those heavy Kent downpours don't have to mean a waterlogged garden anymore. Smart drainage transforms soggy Keston lawns into year-round usable spaces that actually work with our clay-heavy soil.

Keston's position between Bromley Common and Hayes creates particular drainage challenges that most contractors overlook. Victorian properties along Heathfield Road often struggle with original drainage systems never designed for modern patio extensions. Meanwhile, newer developments near Keston Mark face their own battles with compacted builder's soil that simply won't absorb rainwater properly.
French drains paired with soakaways handle most BR2 properties beautifully, though steeper plots towards Farnborough sometimes need channel drainage running across driveways. Clay soil excavation reaches depths of 600-900mm, creating gravel-filled trenches that intercept runoff before it pools. Permeable paving integration means your block-paved drive actively assists drainage rather than contributing to the problem.
Twenty years solving Keston's wettest gardens has taught us every quirk of local topography. Neighbours regularly stop to ask how we finally fixed that perpetual puddle problem they'd given up on.
