Residents in Pakenham, Officer, and Clyde North often face a specific geological challenge: Reactive Clay Subsoil. Unlike sandy suburbs, our water doesn't drain down; it sits on top of the clay layer, turning your new turf into a swamp.
If you walk on your lawn 2 days after rain and water pools around your boots, you have a drainage failure. This is not normal, and adding more topsoil won't fix it.
We mechanically strip the impermeable clay top layer. In serious cases, we trench 400mm+ deep to create gravity channels.
We install 100mm slotted agricultural pipe socked in geofabric, seated in a bed of 20mm clean scoria or blue metal.
We cultivate worst-case clay with clay-breaker Gypsum to modify the soil structure before laying fresh sandy loam topsoil.
Don't let winter turn your yard into a mud pit. We offer free site assessments for drainage issues.
