What Fulham Gardens is built on
Sandy loam over marine clay — friendlier than beach sand, wetter than the plains in winter. Every quote we write in Fulham Gardens starts from this.
Building in Fulham Gardens
Fulham Gardens offers what the western suburbs increasingly can't: genuinely large flat blocks within ten minutes of the beach, and a generation of postwar homes now changing hands and being reworked. The sandy loam digs easily but sits over marine clays that hold winter water high; soakage that works in January can fail completely in July, so drainage design has to respect the season, not the sales pitch. Big blocks mean full-scope projects — lawn, paving, verandah, shed — delivered as one coordinated build rather than piecemeal weekend jobs.
Drainage problems in Fulham Gardens trace back to its ground and its levels: sandy loam over marine clay — friendlier than beach sand, wetter than the plains in winter, while flat, low-lying western plains with a seasonal water table close beneath. Our fix starts with a laser survey of where water enters, stalls and can legally leave — then cut-and-fill, ag-drains and stormwater are designed as one system rather than patched piecemeal.
Every connection to the legal point of discharge is done to City of Charles Sturt requirements, and surfaces are reinstated over the trench lines — so by the first serious winter rain, a Fulham Gardens yard that used to pond is walkable within the hour.
