As you can see from the photo below, we discovered some drainage problems when we started to dig out the rill. So, once more, the garden was put on hold whilst we discussed how to remedy this. Crest Nicholson didn’t want to know, even though it was their equipment that had compacted the soil so much as to make it like concrete and they had just covered it over with topsoil, no surprise there.
So, having waited for the water to evaporate somewhat, R&B Groundworks (Rob and Bernadette our garden creators) came up with a cunning drainage solution of a perforated pipe sunk into a ditch to help the water run off the concrete like surface and soak away.
This has worked brilliantly. So we are now ready to progress with the garden proper. Fingers crossed that the weather holds.
