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.
Before quoting groundworks in Perth we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Perth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Perth include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Perth
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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Perth jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Driveway drainage and soakaways in Perth: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Perth?
We cover PH2 and PH1 and the surrounding districts, including Auchterarder and Blairgowrie and Rattray.
Is the price fixed for Perth jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in Perth?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
