Driveway drainage and soakaways across Angus and Dundee
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.
Surface water should not be connected to a foul sewer, and on a front garden in England it should not run onto the road. Where a soakaway is used, it is sited away from buildings and sized for the area it serves.
Typical projects we can quote for in Dundee include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb.

Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Dundee jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
