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 Bonnyrigg depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Bonnyrigg are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Bonnyrigg include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
