Types of Materials found in Altrincham
Altrincham sits on ground the British Geological Survey describes as rolling Middle Sands topography, a mix of glacial sand and gravel deposits alongside the boulder clay till common across the wider Greater Manchester and north Cheshire area. This gives somewhat more varied drainage than areas with uniform clay, with sandier patches generally draining better than the surrounding clay dominant ground. Given this variation, ground conditions can differ noticeably between neighbouring streets, so it is worth having your installer check your specific plot before digging fence post holes.
