In gardens where landfill specifications have been followed scrupulously the chances of water stagnation over an extended period of time are very low. In such garden spaces level differences, slopes and draining points would normally become functional during heavy rain. In large campuses water may be allowed to drain into a pond area. The aim of land fillspecifications should be to protect the land against water stagnation, as opposed to retention, to gauge topographical slopes and to work on the area surrounding the structures with landfills to allow excess water to drain off without washing away the top soil.

One way of preparing your lawn for the monsoon is to shave it short just before the rain. A sprinkling of manure will then help the grass grow rapidly when it finds nourishment in the form of rain. Also using the lawn mover or the scythe in wet conditions is impossible and an overgrown lawn is not a very pretty sight.

Garden equipment and fixtures also suffer some damage during heavy rain. Sprinklers and pipelines need to be cleaned professionally before putting them to use as the chances of soil clogging the network is quite high. The inlet and outlet pipes and the tiles on the wall of swimming pools and fountains need to be cleaned. All electrical fittings need to be checked before use as there is a chance of water seepage into the exposed fittings. Garden furniture will definitely ask for a dab of paint.
