geri_a Hi there,

I really need help with my boggy garden.

My garden is in 2 levels. The bottom level has a wooden patio so is fine but the upper part of the garden is absolutely soaking!

Even in the summer, it is never really dry and the ground cracks open with the weight of the watery ground lower on the slope.

Currently, there is a small green patch surrounded by a stone path but we are wanting to lawn the entire area as we have a little one and the stones are not child-friendly.

Someone suggested digging a trench at the top of the garden but I don't think this will be enough.

Any ideas please?

before anyone can help u we would really need to see a pic of how your garden is set up.
u say u have a slope but is there a fence in the upper section or a concrete barrier that might be holding back moisture.
if u can post a picture even if u put it in photobucket and then post a link to it here that
would be great maybe then someone might be able to help u with your problem.
cyaaaaa, sockiescat
