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 Lincoln depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Lincoln has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Lincoln include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Lincoln
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
