Garden Drainage

Effective garden drainage is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving garden. Poor drainage can lead to waterlogging, which can suffocate plant roots, encourage the growth of harmful fungi and bacteria, and ultimately result in plant death. Strathclyde Drainage offers comprehensive solutions to ensure that your garden remains well-drained and vibrant throughout the year.

One of the primary methods employed by Strathclyde Drainage is the installation of French drains. These drains are highly efficient at redirecting excess water away from your garden beds and lawn areas. A French drain consists of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that channels water away from the surface, thus preventing water accumulation. This method not only addresses current drainage issues but also helps in preventing future water logging problems.

Another solution provided by Strathclyde Drainage is the use of soakaway systems. Soakaways are underground containers that collect excess water and allow it to percolate slowly into the surrounding soil. This system is particularly effective in areas with heavy clay soil, where water infiltration can be slow. By incorporating soakaways, you can alleviate surface water issues and promote better groundwater recharge.

Moreover, Strathclyde Drainage emphasises the importance of regular maintenance to keep your garden drainage system in optimal condition. Regularly cleaning gutters, downspouts, and drainage ditches can prevent blockages and ensure that water flows freely away from your garden. Additionally, checking for leaks and promptly repairing any damages in your drainage infrastructure can save you from more significant problems in the future.

Strathclyde Drainage offers customised garden drainage solutions tailored to your specific needs. Their experienced team conducts thorough assessments of your garden's layout and soil type to design the most effective drainage system. By addressing drainage issues proactively, you can create a lush, healthy garden that can withstand even the heaviest downpours.
