Garthegard

I'm not contracting, I'm the head gardener of a property of which the large property next-door (non residential) has been discharging into a very old soakaway under my clients garden, this has become blocked, after a lot of meetings with various people the only really viable option is to take the discharge into a nearby watercourse. Its just getting past the willows that was my concern.

Thanks for all your replies i really appreciate it. It'll be discharging to watercourse from someone else's property (the legality of that is all sorted). Unfortunately it has to go past the trees somehow (it needs to go from the lefthand side of the road to about 50ft the other some of that fence). It's just a case of where and how. I like the moling idea but I'm not familiar with it so don't know if it's suitable, 6" solid plastic pipe needs to be layed.

Definitely not my first option, We've explored a lot of options for running a treatment plant output line in lots of places, this is just another idea of where to run it.

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. At a clients property there are a couple of very large weeping willow (40 year old), I may need to dig a fairly large 2-3ft deep trench about 4 meters away from them (to the left of the farthes away tree in the photo), is this likely to cause serious damage to the tree? If so the trench will obviously have to be reevaluate. Many thanks
