Driveway drainage and soakaways across the Highlands and Islands
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Inverness include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.

Planning in the Highlands and Islands
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 Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Inverness jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
