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 Tewkesbury depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Tewkesbury, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Tewkesbury include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Tewkesbury
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
