Specialist garden drainage solutions for waterlogging, standing water and ground that struggles to drain after rainfall.
Tell us what’s happening and leave your contact details.
A waterlogged garden is not always caused by one obvious problem. Ground conditions, levels, surrounding surfaces and the way water moves across the property can all play a part.
Ardent Utilities assesses each garden individually to understand what is contributing to the problem before determining the appropriate drainage solution.
The aim is simple: manage excess water effectively and help create a garden that drains as it should.
Poor drainage can show itself in different ways, particularly during prolonged or heavy rainfall.
Standing water after rainfall
Ground that stays wet for long periods
Water collecting in low points
Persistent moss across the lawn
Soft or waterlogged ground
Borders and lawns slow to dry
There is no single drainage layout that works for every property. We look at how water is entering, collecting and moving through the garden before planning the system.
Depending on the site, the solution can involve underground drainage, land drains and a pumping system to collect and move excess water away from problem areas.
What looks like one drainage problem can be the result of several different factors working together.
The natural levels of the garden can direct water towards lower areas where it begins to collect.
Clay and other poorly draining soils can make it difficult for water to soak into the ground.
Paving, concrete and other hard surfaces can change where rainfall runs and eventually collects.
Nearby inclines and neighbouring ground can direct additional surface water towards your garden.
Run-off from sheds, garages and other buildings can add more water to already saturated ground.
Shaded parts of the garden can remain wet for longer because moisture takes more time to dry naturally.

A clear, straightforward process from understanding the problem to completing the work.
We look at where water is collecting, how long it remains and the areas of the garden being affected.
Ground levels, soil, surrounding surfaces and other factors are considered to establish why the garden is waterlogging.
We plan a drainage system around the individual garden, using the appropriate solution for the conditions.
The drainage is installed efficiently, with disruption to the garden kept to a minimum where possible.
Straightforward answers to common questions about waterlogged gardens, poor drainage and the solutions available.
Waterlogging can be caused by several factors, including heavy soil, garden levels, surrounding ground, hard surfaces and the way water moves across the property.
Common signs include standing water after rainfall, water collecting in low areas, ground that remains wet for long periods, persistent moss and lawns or borders that are slow to dry.
Every garden is different. We assess the ground conditions, levels and potential causes of the waterlogging before planning the appropriate drainage solution for the property.
Yes. Where appropriate, land drains can be incorporated into the drainage system to collect excess water and direct it away from problem areas.
Where required, an underground pumping system can form part of the drainage solution to collect and move excess water. This depends on the individual garden and the drainage requirements.
Some excavation may be required to install underground drainage, but the work is planned around the garden with unnecessary disruption kept to a minimum wherever possible.
Yes. Standing water after heavy or prolonged rainfall can indicate that the ground is struggling to drain effectively. We can assess the affected areas and establish what may be contributing to the problem.
