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.

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!

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.

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.

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
