Really stuck for a budget solution for our lawn.
It´s a new build, we moved in as 2nd social housing tenants in July.
Housing and developer not interested in doing anything, so we are on our own.
Water pools worse bottom right - gravel board constantly black - but does pool all along the bottom line, and ground very soggy up to half way towards the house.
The lawn does slope down to that bottom fence and there is no drain hole down there.
Where there is pea shingle i done that myself - used the ground grids and filled them with shingle and that sorted the flooding issue there - but we want to keep grass as want to get a puppy.
I´ve done 2 lots of hollow tine aerating with zero effect.
Obviously a clay issue with minimal top soil.
There is a rainwater drain up towards the house, but as i say the lawn slopes down from there.
Any ideas with the minimal budget on what i can do to help the situation please... we are desperate?
It may look good, but that´s because we keep off it, haven´t been able to tread on it for other a month now.
Really desperate to help solve this issue, even if it means losing part of the lawn to shingle or flower beds, we just want a size of lawn we can use.
Many, Many Thanks.
