What driveway drainage and soakaways involve
Driveway drainage collects surface water and takes it to somewhere it can soak away safely, usually with a linear channel drain across the drive and a soakaway crate or rubble pit in the garden. It is needed where a drive is impermeable or slopes towards the house or garage.
Before quoting groundworks in Inverurie we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Inverurie, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Inverurie we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Inverurie
Surface water from a drive should stay on your property or go to a suitable soakaway or surface water drain. It should not run onto the road or be connected to a foul sewer. Soakaways are sited away from buildings.

Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Aberdeenshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
