Royal WB Paving Ltd replaced a back garden in Chippenham that kept flooding with a permeable resin bound patio and driveway, and the flooding has stopped.
The Problem: A Garden That Flooded Every Time It Rained
Our customer in Chippenham got in touch because his back garden kept flooding. Every spell of heavy rain left standing water across the garden, and it was getting worse. The cause was the ground itself. The garden sits on heavy clay, which drains very slowly, so rainwater had nowhere to go. There was no drainage that worked, so the water collected in the garden and stayed there.
Our Solution: Permeable Resin and Proper Drainage
We visited the property, assessed the problem and gave a clear, no-obligation quote of £19,000 for the full project. Once the customer gave us the go-ahead, we tackled the flooding at its source. First, we improved the drainage so surface water is carried away from the garden instead of pooling on the clay. We then laid a new resin bound patio. Resin bound surfacing is porous, so rainwater passes straight through it instead of running off and collecting. To finish, we laid a matching resin bound driveway at the front. It gives the property a smart, consistent look and handles rainwater in the same way.
The Result: No More Flooding
The flooding has stopped. Rainwater now drains through the new resin surfaces and away through the improved drainage, so the garden stays usable even after heavy downpours. The customer was delighted with the result. The flooding is solved, he has a modern, low-maintenance patio and driveway, and he knows his garden is protected from future flooding.
Why Resin Bound Works for Gardens That Flood
Resin bound surfacing is permeable, so water drains through it instead of pooling on top. Rain soaks away where it falls instead of running onto lawns and borders. The finish is smooth, durable and easy to keep clean, and there’s a wide choice of colours and finishes for patios and driveways.
