My Garden is very boggy and i'm concerned about the drainage if I install artificial grass. What is the solution?

• It is important to find out how well the area will drain. To do this we recommend removing the top surface and digging a inspection hole of approximately (w)30x(L)30x(D)50cm and filling with water, to observe drainage. If the drainage is unsatisfactory we would recommend that suitable soakaways are put in place before any further work takes place.
