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.
Groundwork prices in Peterhead depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Peterhead are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Peterhead include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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. Laying days in Peterhead are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
