That was what you said, and what I was replying to. @bassett one suggested tarmacking the grass verges - equally counter-productive. I live down a lane which is tarmacked and has no drainage - when we get heavy rain, it floods easily. Fortunately, a section of it runs along a riverbank/grassed area, so we do have a bit of relief, but we still get flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
