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 Leeds depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Housing in Leeds ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Across West Yorkshire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Leeds
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in West Yorkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
