Garden Drainage Solutions in Irvine & Surrounding Ayrshire Areas
At Cutting Edge Artificial Grass, we don’t just lay premium lawns — we solve garden drainage problems at their root. Many modern homes and new-build estates such as Kings Meadow, Montgomery Park, and Tarryholme in Irvine suffer from poor soil drainage, leaving lawns waterlogged and unusable.
Our expert groundwork and drainage team design and install long-lasting, effective drainage systems to keep your garden dry, functional, and beautiful all year round.
Why Garden Drainage Matters
Poor drainage can lead to:
- Waterlogged grass or mud patches
- Moss and weed build-up
- Puddling around patios and paths
- Damage to artificial grass installations
- Overflow and erosion near boundaries or fences
With proper drainage, your garden will stay dry, clean, and healthy — even after heavy rain.
Our Drainage Solutions
We offer a full range of modern and traditional drainage methods, tailored to each garden type:
1. French Drains
A tried and tested system using trenches filled with gravel and perforated pipes to redirect standing water away from problem areas. Ideal for soggy lawns or along fence lines.
2. Perforated Pipe Systems
Installed beneath lawns or borders, these collect and carry excess rainwater into a suitable soakaway or the household rainwater system.
3. Soakaways & Gravel Pits
Great for gardens without existing drainage connections. They absorb surface water into the ground gradually, reducing puddling and soil erosion.
4. Non-Woven Geotextile Membranes
Placed beneath aggregates to prevent soil mixing and clogging — ensuring long-term, low-maintenance drainage performance.
5. Pea Gravel & Shingle Layers
Used to improve soil structure, promote natural filtration, and protect artificial grass sub-bases from retaining moisture.
6. Connection to Rainwater Systems
Where suitable, we can safely connect new drains into your property’s existing rainwater or guttering system, ensuring smooth flow away from the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: My garden is always boggy after rain — what’s the best drainage option?
It depends on your soil type and garden layout. In many Ayrshire gardens, a combination of a
French drain and
soakaway provides the most reliable, long-term results.
Q2: Can you install drainage under artificial grass?
Absolutely. We specialise in creating proper sub-bases and drainage layers to prevent pooling and odours beneath synthetic lawns.
Q3: Will garden drainage make my lawn uneven?
No. Our team levels and compacts the ground carefully after installation, leaving your garden flat and ready for turf or artificial grass.
Q4: Can drainage connect into my house gutter system?
Yes — if your property’s layout allows, we can safely connect your garden drainage into the existing rainwater outlet system for seamless flow.
Q5: How long does installation take?
Most garden drainage jobs take 1–3 days depending on garden size and complexity.
