Our back garden is the same water sits on the back corner. Recently found that in the field behind There is a burst pipe further up the hill and the water is running down the hill and settling behind our back fences! Don't think this helps the case!?

Plot 227 (3A Glenmill Way) back garden like a swamp despite Persimmons solution to put chips down outside by back door. Not acceptable.

Our garden slopes towards our house. We were really concerned about this so are in the middle of decking the bottom area. Hope it resolves the problem! Not right that everyone cannot utilize their garden. Also not impressed with what we have dug up in the process! Found a huge metal sign in the mud, that can't be helping with drainage!

Drainage is one thing but lack of proper soil is another. Whole grass area is nothing but clay

Drainage is awful in this area. I would be extremely worried for homes which have a back garden which slopes towards house.

If so many householders are having an jssue with drainage, it's time both developers take action and sorted the problem out.

I am in the same boat. The garden been a boggy mess since day I got it. I have had professionals out to look at it but the issue lies with what is below the soil. It is clay saturated, that is why the water just sits there. I have had drainage put in but only at the 3 m mark, which has not helped.

Problems with our front and back garden in Glenmill with our Bellway house. Already started work on back garden and some of the things we have found are totally not acceptable!

Shocking drainage in the back garden. So bad that it has killed all our plants we put in last year!

Drainage problems from the start. Grass is never dry even after dry weather. Thinking of getting rid of all the grass now after spending £600 to turf it!!

Garden is saturated to the point it has killed loads of plants/trees we put in over a year ago. You sink when you stand on this area in my garden!
