We are garden and lawn drainage contractors specialising in draining domestic gardens, solving waterlogging, soggy lawns, boggy soil and surface water problems with solutions that work, even on clay soil. In most cases without major hard landscaping or raising garden surfaces. We have not suddenly appeared as a reaction to recent flooding of the Somerset levels and Thames valley or recent record rainfall, we have been installing French drains for many years, both as a necessity and for the past 10 years as a business.

The best time to aerate is during the growing season avoiding very hot weather that makes the soil dry and difficult to penetrate, soearly or late spring or autumn are the best times, but anytime is better than none. The signs that tell you your lawn needs aeration are not always obvious, but lawns especially on heavy clay soilthat get regular heavy use andshow wear and tear and thinning, turning brown quickly in dry weather need to be aerated on a regular basis, at least once a year. Or you may have had a visit from Mike the flowerpotman to investigate alawn drainage problemwho to your relief tells you that the lawn is compacted and won't need to be dug up and drainage installed, just aerated.

My Hard landscaping company was formed about nine years ago. I soon recognised a need to employ my own Garden Design team of garden designers that not only designed attractive gardens, but also saw the importance of the practicalities like mobility, drainage and space for entertaining when designing garden makeovers, not filling every available inch with clutter, and to design safe retaining walls when terracing or leveling a garden. Or the expensive flagstone patio we built in August sunshine only to find it disappearing under water in October, despite the designer saying drainage wasn't necessary.

We excavate the area to a depth of about 150mm Lay compacted hardcore to a depth of about 50mm to 80mm for the foundations and build you a patio to last. Lots of material choice these day ranging from concrete slabs through to natural stone flagstones, we will run through the choices and prices with you. A couple of examples are Indian sandstone a natural quarried stone and concrete made in a factory using a cement type mix formed in a press. Gravel driveways add a bit of rustic charm to your home, are a lot cheaper than block paving, cleaner than tarmac, good for drainage, look better than and more eco friendly than imprinted concrete and also help with security, (burglars hate walking or driving over crunchy gravel).

Don't despair if you've just moved into a new home that has compacted subsoil where a front lawn should be or if your old lawn looks like a worn-out rug. The cost to have a turf lawn laid is probably less than you think, it's warm enough and rain helps develop strong roots and saves a lot of time watering. The big advantage of lawn turf over seed is speed. From soil preparation to final layout, it's possible to lay a modest-sized turf lawn in one day. Moss and weeds in the morning and a green lawn in the evening!

It is amazing how many landscapers and landscape designers are happy to give you what you want, take the money knowing it's not going to last unless you throw even more money at it season after season. A garden makeover is sometimes Aesthetics over Functionality. Looks good but is unusable. You should be able to have both a landscaped garden that looks good and is safe, sustainable, convenient and usable. I listen to you and discuss the practicalities and likely cost and then quote to build the imaginative and functional garden to the design you have in mind.

Decay in a box sash window almost always starts at the bottom and works upwards, so the lower window parts will need replacement and repair long before the upper parts. Regularly checking Sash windows for signs of decay, will spot wet rot before it attacks the whole window. Where wood is in need of repair we use a epoxy resin wood repair system, completely bonding with the original timber restoring the original tenon joints to full strength. Wood decay occurs where water is allowed to stand on sills, where paintwork has cracked, in Joints between the sill and the masonry and below damp adjoining masonry caused by persistent condensation on the glass, especially in bathrooms.

Every house has timber in it and while it can last a long time if it is looked after. Dry Rot can rampage through your home. It loves moist unventilated conditions, penetrates brickwork to get to your wood and can cause widespread destruction of structural timbers, skirting boards and door frames, and wood flooring. Because Dry rot thrives in damp, unventilated conditions, it can occur in the areas of a property that are hidden, like floor voids, or behind timber paneling, so damage may be extensive before the attack is discovered.
