Drainage:

Water is the source of all life, but too much water can cause significant problems even in the garden space. For instance, surplus water can promote root rot and diseases amongst plants.

If your green space turns into a quagmire every time it rains, this may indicate that your garden is in dire need of a Landscape Drainage system.

Keeping water away from your homes foundations is vital to avoid subsidence and decrease your chances of termites.

Field Gullies and channel drains that connect directly to your storm water drains deal with your surface water.

Agriculture pipes with holes drilled through them, deal with sub surface water, when wrapped in geoTextile fabric and covered in drainage gravel. These drainage systems are also used behind retainer walls. We are best in Water Gardens and Garden Screens Gold Coast.

Should you suspect that your drainage in lawn & garden beds is inadequate, a simple test below will give you some answers.

• Dig a hole into the soil that is approximately 60cm deep;
• Fill the hole with water and leave it be for about four hours;
• If the hole isn’t empty upon your return, then drainage is needed.

Note that, sometimes, especially after a heavy rain, accumulated surface water may also not drain as fast as usual. This, however, could mean that your soil simply needs to be aerated.
