Waterlogged Garden

I live in a new build property and the builders lay the grass and they have lay a little top soil over thick clay so my garden is constantly waterlogged and dead patches in places.

Is there any way to make the grass better and less water logged without having to dig it up for drainage channels?

 

Hi Gemma

Sorry to say but no , it will improve as the spring and summer roll on and drys out , but as soon as we have a week of rain you will be back to square one

 

I agree with Spruce, there is nothing you can do unless you dig it up. Drainage channels are a good idea and digging sand or gravel into the soil will help with drainage too.
