Hi
I have just finished digging a trench for a new gas supply. I found that the soil near to the house is very wet and loose compared to the rest of the front garden.
In the images you can see the soil next to the paved area is much darker than the rest.
Is this something I should be worried about?
What can I do about it?
What is the likely cause?
There is a downpipe near to it which goes to a gully but ive never seen water collecting near and given the lack of rain over the last few months I would have thought it should be pretty dry by now.
And ideas?
Thanks
Tony
