Driveway drainage and soakaways across Devon
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.
Surface water should not be connected to a foul sewer, and on a front garden in England it should not run onto the road. Where a soakaway is used, it is sited away from buildings and sized for the area it serves.
Projects we quote in and around Plymouth include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in Devon
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
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
