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 Brecon depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Brecon, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Powys, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Mid Wales is wet and hilly, so falls, drainage and access for materials are planned at survey. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Powys, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
