The Solution


The solution to your drainage problem is to drain the surface water away from your garden / lawn.  This can be achieved by various methods including :-
  • The installation of a herringbone drainage system with gravel place below the surface of your lawn.
  • Replacing the existing faulty system.
  • In some cases, totally replacing soil type utilising sand, gravel and top soil.
  • Where there is  no obvious outlet for water, a sump can be installed with electric pump to remove water to nearby drain or ditch.

Other Services


  • We also install all-weather play areas which include removal of topsoil, draining the designated site, laying of Terram sheeting, and replacing it with playgrade woodchip from Firewood Express
  • Re-turfing – which can be in combination with or separate from our garden drainage service.

Drainage Solution

In some instances, a natural “run-off” can be achieved without the use of a sump system. Ground levels can be taken to establish the natural run of water and new drains can be installed to remedy the flooding.

Drainage Solution

“Bad flooding caused by low lying gardens, with no obvious outlet for water, can have a sump installed which pumps the excess water to a nearby drain or ditch.”

Testimonial

We hired THM Garden Drainage to sort the poor drainage in our back garden cause by compacted heavy clay soil. Ewan and his team did a great job and we’re very professional. They took the time to answer any questions we had at every step. Thanks to Ewan we can finally use our garden.– Scott Haldane

Testimonials

Went to Ewan from great reviews online. We had a damp smell from water draining down our garden and under our house. Ewan asked for photos and advised us to heat the house because it had been empty and advised us to wait and see if the smell dissipated and did not rush to take our money!

Then we had a downpour and water was evident. Ewan gave us an estimate that was lower than another contractor. When he came to survey he realised we had limited access to the back garden and couldn’t get machinery in so we would need to do it by manual labour. We expected to pay more but he said the garden was smaller than my initial measurements so the estimate remained the same. He did a professional job. No more water and we are very happy.

Would definitely recommend him.

A very big thanks to Ewan and the team at THM Garden Drainage, quite simply the drainage installed in our garden has completely transformed it, we had years of the lawn and borders flooding after heavy rainfall,  which destroyed plants and shrubs and made the garden totally unusable. Now even if we have weeks of rain our lawn and borders look great.
This is the best investment we have made in our garden.

I highly recommend Ewan a great worker and tidy too. Thanks again

Ewan recently installed drainage in our garden. We were very impressed with his workmanship and professionalism throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Ewan was attentive to our needs and communicated effectively with us every step of the way.

The drains that Ewan installed have completely transformed our garden, and we no longer have to worry about standing water or flooding after heavy rainfall.

Overall, we are extremely pleased with the work that Ewan has done, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable contractor for their garden drainage and landscaping needs.

Thanks again to Ewan and THM Garden Drainage for a job well done!

Jonny Campion

Big thank you to Ewan and his team for a very professional job on our garden drainage issue.
The ground is already showing positive signs of less water retention following the drainage installation, which was achieved with no disruption to the rest of the garden.
On completion they tidied up to a  very high standard.
We recommend you to others who have a similar issue as to what we had –  10 out of 10.
Well done and “Thank you”

It’s been a bad week for weather but the drainage you installed has made a difference. The earth is drying out quickly even after all the rain we’ve had this week.

You were so efficient and professional and I have never known such clean workers. I would recommend you to anyone needing this work done. It’s five stars from me. Many thanks.
