The challenge
What we were asked to solve
A Penwortham garden had been unusable for years after rain — standing water, soft ground and no dry seating area.
Our approach
How we delivered it
We installed French drains feeding a large crate soakaway, re-levelled the garden and created a new sandstone patio on stable ground.
Scope
What we installed
- French drains
- Crate soakaway
- Re-levelled ground
- Sandstone patio
The result
Outcome for the homeowner
The garden drains after heavy rain and the patio stays usable — a permanent fix rather than a temporary patch.
