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 Wellington depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Wellington are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wellington include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
