Driveway drainage and soakaways across Glasgow
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.
Even permeable drives sometimes need a channel: at the bottom of a slope towards a garage, across the top of a drive that falls to the pavement, or where clay ground drains slowly.
Across Glasgow, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.

Planning in Glasgow
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 West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Laying days in Glasgow are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
