Using Mole’s Unique Garden Drainage System since 1991

Find the solution for your flooded garden
3
All problem gardens are assessed individually for a bespoke solution taking into account all the potential contributory factors. Often what you think is the cause of a waterlogged garden is actually just a knock on effect from problems elsewhere. Mole Group has extensive experience of diagnosing garden drainage problems and identifiying the causes of waterlogged ground.

Only once we understand the effects of variations of soil types / inclines / locations / grass / moss / sunshine will we specifically design a drainage solution and work on installing garden drainage. That system may involve a soakaway system, a drainage sump, a garden drainage pump – but you can rest assured that it will be the right solution to your drainage problems.

Generic garden drainage systems are simply not as effective as custom garden drainage solutions from Mole Group.

Factors Contributing to Poor Garden Drainage

  • Topography / lay of the land
  • Positioning relative to inclines
  • Concreted or patio areas
  • Poor guttering on outhouse, greenhouses etc.
  • Soil type, particularly heavy clay
  • Sunshine and shade
  • Grass and moss
  • Changes to neighbouring areas

Symptoms of Poor Garden Drainage

  • Holding water, specifically in borders or low points of the lawn
  • Takes a long time to dry out after rainfall
  • Water always present even in summer
  • Moss on the lawn
  • Marsh grass on the lawn
  • Waterlogged ground!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mole’s system include a French Drain or Soakaway?

Sometimes we install a French drain with our system but it is not always necessary. In many parts of the country soakaways do not work, for example in clay-based soils the water would be held like in a bowl and this can make the problem worse.

How does your system work?

It is our own unique pumped system which costs little over a penny a day to run. Water is filtered and excess water is discharged into the existing drain system.

Do you follow the herringbone layout of French drains?

No. The herringbone layout is a “one size fits all” approach which does not address the specific elements of each site. As engineers we look for the causes of the situation in order to affect a long term resolution – sometimes that involves using a herringbone layout, but sometimes it will be a different system that will give you the best results.

How long after installation will my garden take to dry out?

It varies depending on weather, severity and time of year, but you should start to see an immediate improvement and a reduction in standing water.
