Driveways, patios and gardens in Wakefield
Wakefield is ten minutes from our Pontefract base and one of the areas we work in most. Sandal, Agbrigg, Lupset, Ossett, Horbury, Normanton, Crofton, Walton and Newmillerdam all get regular visits, along with the big new estates at City Fields and out towards Stanley.
The housing is a real mix: red brick Victorian terraces near the centre, solid 1930s semis with generous gardens in Sandal and Alverthorpe, and thousands of newer homes whose gardens were handed over as a rectangle of poorly laid turf and a small square of slabs.
Gardens on Wakefield clay
Most of Wakefield sits on the coal measures, which means heavy clay that holds water. Left alone it produces waterlogged lawns every winter, patios that puddle and fence posts that rot in the wet ground. New build gardens are worse because the topsoil is thin and the ground underneath was compacted by machinery.
The answer is proper groundwork: dig out, drainage where it is needed, and a compacted free draining base under every drive, patio and lawn we lay. It is more work than skimming a few slabs on the surface, and it is why our work lasts.
