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 Broxburn depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Broxburn, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Broxburn include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
