Afternoon all, i have a very boggy garden, it's always like that and has been since i moved in, it doesn't get an awful lot of sunlight so tends to stay wet and instead of grass we get moss.
I am currently planning a redesign including new decking.
I was going to install french drains to get rid of the excess water, which is fine but as i want to put fake grass down that needs 50mm of compacted Hardcore then a sand screed to give a level surface.
If i do french drains now then put compacted hardcore down, will it render the drains useless? Does hardcore allow water through?
Also, will i need to compact the mud back on top of the french drains to stop it sinking as the ground settles?
Thanks
Darren
