Driveway drainage and soakaways across County Armagh
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.
Even permeable drives sometimes need a channel: at the bottom of a slope towards a garage, across the top of a drive that falls to the pavement, or where clay ground drains slowly.
Typical projects we can quote for in Craigavon include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in County Armagh
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. Laying days in Craigavon are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

We cover BT and the surrounding districts, including Craigavon and Portadown.
Do I need planning permission in County Armagh?
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
