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 Waterlooville depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Waterlooville mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Waterlooville include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Waterlooville are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
