Drainage Solutions
If your garden stays soggy, puddles after every shower, or your patio becomes slippery and green, it’s usually a sign that water isn’t draining the way it should. We can help protect your garden, your hard landscaping, and the areas around your home.
Common drainage problems we fix
- Waterlogged lawns and muddy patches
- Standing water on patios, paths and driveways
- Rainwater running towards the house or garage
- Borders that stay saturated and plants that struggle
- Slippery algae/moss build-up on paving
- Blocked or overflowing gullies and surface water routes
How we work
- Site visit & assessment – we look at levels, flow paths, soil type and the main trouble spots.
- Clear recommendations – we explain the best option and what it will achieve.
- Neat installation – carried out with care, then reinstated cleanly.
- Tested results – we check flow and function before we finish.
Our drainage services
Every garden is different, so we tailor the solution to your ground conditions, existing landscaping and how you use the space.
- French drains (perforated land drains)
A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe to collect excess water and carry it away underground. - Soakaways & soakaway crates
A discreet, effective way to disperse surface water into the ground (where soil conditions allow). - Channel drains (ACO-style)
Grated channels installed along patios, driveways and thresholds to stop pooling and direct water to the right place. - Lawn drainage / land drainage runs
Drainage lines installed beneath turf to tackle persistent waterlogging and improve lawn health. - Re-levelling and falls
Adjusting levels so water naturally runs away from problem areas rather than settling or flowing back towards the property. - Gullies, pipework and drainage repairs
Repairing damaged runs, improving surface water collection, and upgrading older drainage where needed.

James W.September 3, 2026Elliot did a cracking job - block paving a section of my driveway. He worked like a Trojan horse on his own in the heat and completed the works in 3 days. I’m so happy with the driveway and his attention to detail blending it in with the original drive. He is professional, clean and tidy. He organised the materials, small digger and skip to take the waste away. Thank you Elliot!
