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 Bridgwater depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Bridgwater range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bridgwater include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
