Picture from one year ago today.

Terrific clients, who have a garden sited in a small but steep-sided hanging valley. Every year, from around November till May, the ground was saturated, with standing water a lot of the time - so they wanted to talk about drainage solutions.

This was the most obvious - just cut a winding trench from top to bottom. Hey presto, a stream! The water flowing through it hasn't been ducted in - this was the amount of wet previously trying to make its way down the garden, which is now contained and visible. Within a couple of weeks, the whole garden was starting to dry out. We estimated the flow at 5-6,000 litres per HOUR at its peak.

Work *with* the water, not against it.

(The large pebbles weren't my choice: I worry that they're over-large and obtrusive, but it will be interesting to see how they settle into the landscape as plants grow in from the sides. It's always good to get periodic reminders that the job is for the clients, not oneself.)
