Garden Soil Decompaction & Drainage Solutions
Restore Your Lawn & Prevent Water-Logging
Is your garden suffering from persistent water-logging? Do you find that your lawn stays soggy for days after rain, making it unusable and damaging your grass? Poor drainage and soil compaction are common issues in domestic gardens, but they can be effectively treated with professional soil decompaction and drainage solutions.
At Down To Earth, we specialise in improving soil structure, enhancing drainage, and restoring healthy lawns by breaking up compacted soil and encouraging natural water movement.
Why is Your Lawn Waterlogged?
Water-logging is often caused by:
✔ Compacted soil – Heavy foot traffic, machinery use, or poor soil structure can prevent water from draining properly.
✔ Clay-heavy or poorly structured soil – Some garden soils naturally retain too much water.
✔ Poor surface drainage – Flat gardens or those with insufficient drainage solutions can lead to standing water.
✔ Built-up organic matter (thatch) – A thick layer of thatch or moss can stop water from reaching the soil below.
If left untreated, waterlogged lawns can lead to moss growth, patchy grass, root rot, and even long-term soil degradation.
How We Fix Water-Logged Lawns
We offer professional soil decompaction and drainage treatments tailored for domestic gardens, ensuring long-term improvement in soil health and drainage.
1. Air Injection Decompaction
Using specialist equipment, we inject high-pressure air into the soil to break up compaction, creating channels for water to drain naturally. This method is non-invasive and effective without damaging the lawn.
2. Organic Soil Improvement
To enhance soil health and prevent future water-logging, we incorporate organic soil improvers, biochar, and drainage-friendly amendments to help balance moisture retention and improve soil structure.
