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 Strabane depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Strabane, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across County Tyrone, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Strabane
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Strabane jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
