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.
In Newtown, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Newtown, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Newtown include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Newtown
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.
