Landscaping

Groundworks & Drainage

Good landscaping starts below the finished surface. We carry out excavation, site levelling, foundations and surface-water drainage for driveways, patios, structures and gardens. By understanding levels and where water can safely discharge, we can tackle issues such as ponding and waterlogged ground while preparing a dependable base for the next stage.

  • Excavation, muck-away and levelling
  • Foundations and concrete bases
  • Surface-water drainage, channel drains and soakaways
  • Land drainage for waterlogged ground
  • Ducting for services

FAQs

Groundworks & Drainage questions

What causes persistent waterlogging in a garden?

It usually comes down to compacted ground or nowhere for water to go. Land drainage and a soakaway give the water a route away, which fixes it at the source.

Can driveway drainage be included in the work?

Yes — drainage is part of building a driveway properly, and we design it to meet SuDS rules as standard.

Can you design drainage around the applicable requirements?

Yes — we design drainage to meet SuDS rules and building requirements, and advise where sign-off is needed.

Can drainage work improve a waterlogged garden?

Yes — land drainage and a soakaway give the water a route away, which usually solves waterlogging at the source.
