It is now law that surface water run-off from gardens should be controlled so that flooding is avoided, this means that SUDS is a requirement
Home-owners and landscaping companies have a duty of care and a legal obligation to discharge surface water, that cannot naturally find its way into the sub-soil, into a proper drainage channel.
In 2008, the government passed a law that prevents homeowners from paving over front gardens without making adequate provision for the run-off from the surface water.
Jackson’s Landscape Design is certified to advise on and carry out installations where the observation of the SUDS law is a requirement.
