Who can fix a waterlogged field or paddock in North Somerset?

LANDZA lets landowners post field and paddock drainage, drainage trench, ditch and related excavation enquiries, then reviews each enquiry against suitable local contractor coverage. The right solution depends on the site, soil, levels, outfall and existing drainage.

What details help a drainage contractor assess my job?

Include where water collects, approximate affected area, existing drains or ditches, known outfalls, access width, ground conditions and site photos. Do not worry if you do not know the final drainage design.

Help with waterlogged fields, paddocks and gateways

Persistent wet ground can have several causes, so a useful first step is giving a contractor a clear picture of the site rather than guessing at a solution. Tell LANDZA where water sits or flows, how large the wet area is, whether there are existing drains or ditches, and where machinery can gain access.

Field & paddock drainage

Contractor work for waterlogged fields, wet paddocks, poached ground and persistent standing water, subject to suitable site conditions and a viable drainage route.

French drains & drainage trenches

Digger hire with driver

Ditches, outfalls & water routes

Existing ditches and outfalls can be important to rural drainage. Post clearance, excavation or restoration work where access permits.

What to include in a field drainage enquiry

You can make a drainage job easier to assess by including the approximate size of the wet area, whether the problem is seasonal or constant, any known existing land drains, nearby ditches or outfalls, machine access width, slopes and ground conditions. Photos showing the wet area and access are particularly useful.

If the problem is a wet gateway, track or hardstanding rather than a whole field, say so. If you need excavation as part of the work, see LANDZA's groundworks contractors and mini digger and excavator operators.

Watercourse work can need consent. In North Somerset, private ditch maintenance is generally the landowner's responsibility, but work in or close to a watercourse can require consent from North Somerset Council, the relevant Internal Drainage Board or the Environment Agency depending on the location and watercourse. A suitable contractor should identify this before work starts. North Somerset Council drainage guidance · Somerset Drainage Boards
