A well-draining lawn is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving garden. Without proper drainage, water can accumulate, causing damage to your lawn, plants, and even your home's foundation. Our team of experts at Blocked Drains Edinburgh can help you assess your lawn's drainage needs and recommend the best solutions.

Adding drainage to a lawn can be a straightforward process, but it requires careful planning and execution. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Assess Your Lawn: Walk your lawn and identify areas where water tends to collect. Check the slope of your lawn and note any low-lying areas.
2. Choose the Right Materials: You'll need a perforated drainage pipe (usually 100mm in diameter), a drainage gravel or aggregate, and a geotextile membrane.
3. Mark Out the Drainage Path: Use a hose or rope to mark out the path where you'll lay the drainage pipe. Make sure it's sloped to allow water to flow freely.
4. Dig the Trench: Dig a trench for the drainage pipe, about 300mm deep and 200mm wide.
5. Lay the Pipe: Place the perforated drainage pipe in the trench, making sure it's sloped correctly.
6. Add Drainage Gravel: Fill the trench with drainage gravel or aggregate, leaving about 50mm at the top for the geotextile membrane.
7. Install the Geotextile Membrane: Place the geotextile membrane on top of the drainage gravel, ensuring it's securely fastened.
8. Backfill and Compact: Fill the trench with soil and compact it to prevent settling.
