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 Lytham St Annes depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Lytham St Annes range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Lytham St Annes include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Lytham St Annes
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
