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.
In Antrim, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Antrim, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Antrim we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Antrim
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
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Antrim, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
