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 Gelligaer depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Gelligaer, 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 Gelligaer include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Gelligaer jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
