A garden that floods after every shower or stays boggy is almost always a drainage problem: the rainwater cannot get away. On clay and peat soil this happens sooner than on sand. The solution sits below ground — drainage pipes, a gravel soakaway, the right fall or an infiltration facility — and should therefore be laid before the paving and planting, not after.
For drainage and water management the guide price is € 750 to € 5,000, depending on the scale, the soil type and how deep the work must go. The professional first assesses the cause: sometimes a better fall is enough, sometimes a complete drainage system is needed.
Noticing waterlogging? State in your request where the water stands and, if you know, your soil type — then the landscaper can quote the right approach and fold it straight into a larger garden build.
