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.
Before quoting groundworks in Aberystwyth we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Aberystwyth, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Aberystwyth include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, 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.

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
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
