Local conditions
Flat ground, high water table
Most of Richmond sits on river delta land with a high water table. Rain soaks in slowly, lawns stay wet in winter and anything built on soft ground needs a well-prepared base.
Drainage, raised beds, permeable paving and patios built on a deeper base are common. Lots are typically flat and easy to access, which helps keep labour costs down.

Questions
Richmond yard questions
Why is my Richmond lawn always wet?
Richmond's high water table and flat ground mean water drains slowly. Surface drainage, soil improvements and raised beds usually help more than deep trenches.
