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 Lower Earley depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Lower Earley mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Berkshire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Lower Earley jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
