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 Vale of Leven depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Vale of Leven are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Vale of Leven include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
