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 Newton Aycliffe, 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. Newton Aycliffe mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Newton Aycliffe we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
