When it rains water doesn't drain away in our garden. Takes weeks to be dry again. What can be done so that water drains away more quickly?

Hi Katie, It sounds like you need some field drains or 'French drains'. Depending on the layout of your garden these would then need to be connected to a soakaway or into the mains. You'd be best to have a landscape gardener come take a look to advise and provide you with a quote. I hope this helps, Craig Young Spruce Garden Services Edinburgh & Lothians
