As I said earlier, you risk the water coming off of the roof flooding into the garden if you come in rom the side if you do that. Having said that. it may not be a problem unless there's a serious deluge.
I had doubts about it as I was worried about the flow but a few friends said the rain that comes from the drainpipe wouldn't come out the end that we're connecting the perforated pipe too?
Hi all forgot to update this thread well its been almost a year and the grass didn't die this winter & is a lot better we can already walk on it
Still adding soil and compost to the garden,you can still see the channels were we put the drainage so that's my aim this summer to build it up and grass seed.
The dog doesn't help with her constant digging!
I'm going to add gravel boards round the edging as it's a nightmare trying to cut the grass with slate!!
We've also bought an arbour which is going at the top of the garden i'm going to cut the grass at the top so it'll be inline with the planter and then slate that area
Thought I'd see what people recommended for the issue we've now got at the top of the garden.
Removed the tree as we're planning on putting in an arbour (where the spade is)with the legs stood on stepping stones due to the boggyness then slated.
After digging out the tree the water starts the flow in from the garage at the back of us.
We've since taken up that area of grass ready to put down some pea gravel then weed fabric.Ive since filled the hole in I've dug and it's now abit of a boggy mess,should I have filled the hole in completely with stone and taken out all the clay?
I've drainage in not far off from the hole but it can't get through the thick clay.
