I'm buying a house with a large, sloping back garden. The survey has highlighted that there are problems with drainage, evident from dampness on the patio area at the bottom of the garden. When I looked around the property much of the garden was waterlogged, but I didn't think too much of it as there'd been a lot of rain in recent days.
However, can anyone give me an idea of what sort of work would be needed to provide adequate drainage for a waterlogged garden? It slopes up from the house, and is very steep for the last 15 metres or so. I want to use some of it for growing veg, which I know will be very hard if it's too wet.
Any advice very welcome!
