Could you please help If you garden is waterlogged this time of year you just haven't purchased something built on a flood plain, you have purchased a house built in the river. I would be more worried about the foundations of your house rather than trying fixing the garden. Another home owner hub poster who probably hasn't seen that the original post was made 14 years ago.

I think I'd be a little suspicious if my garden was waterlogged at this
point in time if in the Uk mainland, as there might be a major water main leak nearby tand the house might float off any day! Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

We've just seen that in Grand Designs Australia : Clovelly House They spent a vast amount of money, $100K or something, to deal with what appeared to be a small spring on the property, getting it piped to the storm water drain down the street. And that had been done, someone notice water coming up thru the road itself. Turned out to be just another cracked water main. They actually had an alleged hydraulic engineer telling them how to deal with the alleged spring. If it had been me I'd be shafting him with the bill for the $100K of unnecessary work and making him claim on his professional indemnity insurance for that. "F" news@nowhere wrote in message o.uk...

I suspect the house owner didn't get a FULL survey of his own on the property before purchase. It may have told him that it had built on land that was previously a marsh. House insurance is probably invalid if the water logging hasn't been declared as the property is likely to flood. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Rachel,
I'd dig small holes in various corners and places, digging down until water collects in the bottom and then monitor the various levels on various days and whether it had been raining or not - if its the same every day then it could be a water leak. youre trying to find where you local water table is, and how it varies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_table [george] On Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 6:44:06 PM UTC+1, Rachael wrote: replying to Mike, Rachael wrote: Hi mike not sure if your still around, but I have this exact problem.
