Garden drainage solutions – 5 ways to help prevent your backyard from flooding

Chelsea 2022, Garden designed by Ruth Willmott, Garden Designer showing large flower beds and a pergola.

Garden drainage solutions are a must if you live somewhere that is affected by heavy, frequent rainfall. Without necessary measures in place to control water run-off, plots can begin to flood, flower beds can erode, and plants can become ruined.

What's more, puddles on your backyard landscaping ideas, such as decking and paving, can lead to damage, thus reducing their lifespan drastically and upping the need for more regular maintenance. It's a safety hazard, too – no one wants to slip over while trying to enjoy their outdoor living space.
