Driveway drainage and soakaways across Oxfordshire
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.
Projects we quote in and around Oxford include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in Oxfordshire
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Oxford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
