Garden Drainage Solution Installation in Crosby

Project: Transforming a Flooded Garden with Raised Levels and Artificial Grass Installation

At Abel Landscapes, we take pride in solving the toughest landscaping challenges, and this recent garden project showcases our expertise. Our customer had endured years of frustration due to a flood-prone garden, despite trying various solutions like pumps and linear drainage systems. With no permanent relief in sight, they turned to us for help.

Problem: Repeated Flooding Despite Previous Solutions

The customer’s garden had a long-standing flooding issue, which rendered the outdoor space unusable for most of the year. Over time, the waterlogging became a significant problem, and their attempts to fix it included:

• Installing pumps to remove excess water
• Implementing lineal drainage systems to redirect water flow

Despite these efforts, the flooding persisted, and their garden remained waterlogged after even light rainfall.

Solution: Raising Garden Levels to Prevent Flooding

After our initial site survey, our experienced surveyor identified that the core problem was the garden’s low ground level. To resolve this, we proposed raising the entire garden, which would eliminate the drainage issues and ensure water would no longer pool.

We executed the project with the following steps:

1. Excavation: We began by carefully excavating the garden and preparing the ground for the raised levels.
2. Raising the Levels: Our team used high-quality fill material to significantly raise the garden’s overall height, ensuring water would drain away naturally and no longer flood the area.
3. Improved Drainage: As part of this process, we adjusted the existing drainage system to complement the newly raised levels, ensuring optimal water flow.

Artificial Grass Installation: Creating a Low-Maintenance, Usable Space

Once the garden levels were raised, the next step was to install artificial grass. This not only added a durable, green finish but also provided a low-maintenance surface that the customer could enjoy year-round. The benefits of artificial grass include:

• No waterlogging or muddy patches
• A lush, green look throughout all seasons
• Minimal maintenance required, unlike natural turf

Overcoming Challenges: No Rear Garden Access

An added complexity to the project was the lack of back garden access. All tools, materials, and machinery had to be carefully transported through the customer’s house, ensuring that there was minimal disruption and no damage to the interiors. Our team worked diligently to maintain a clean and orderly work environment throughout the process.

Result: A Happy Customer and a Garden That Can Be Used Year-Round

Thanks to the raised garden levels and artificial grass installation, the customer now has a flood-free outdoor space that can be used in all weather conditions. After many years of frustration with a waterlogged garden, they are thrilled with the result and can finally enjoy their garden whenever they want.
