Garden & Driveway Drainage Across the Wirral

Standing water on the lawn, a patio that puddles, a drive that floods, or water creeping toward the house? We find where the water goes wrong and put in the right fix: land drains, soakaways, channel drainage and more. Standalone drainage jobs welcome; you don't need a full patio to get it sorted.

The Problem

Where water goes wrong

Merseyside is a wet corner of the country. If the ground can't move rainwater away, it shows up as one of these. If any sound familiar, we can fix it.

Waterlogged, boggy lawn
Puddles on the patio or path
Water running toward the house
New driveway that needs a soakaway
Downpipes dumping at the wall
Old drainage that's given up

The Build

How the drainage is built below ground

Most of what makes drainage last is below ground. Get the falls, stone and connections right and the water keeps moving. Get them wrong and it comes back the next wet winter.

Correct falls, set out with a laser level
Right stone & geotextile so it won't silt up
Connected & compliant, never straight to a foul drain
No Patio Required

Drainage on its own, no patio needed

Plenty of our drainage work is standalone: a waterlogged lawn or a flooding drive, no paving involved. And because drainage isn't weather-dependent, we can usually get to it quickly, even in the wetter months. Book a free site survey and we'll tell you honestly what you need.

Quick Questions

Drainage FAQs

Can you do drainage on its own, without a patio or driveway?

Yes. Standalone drainage is a big part of what we do: waterlogged lawns, flooding drives and pooling patios, with no paving involved.

Does my new driveway need drainage by law?

Usually, yes. If you're paving over a front garden with a hard surface bigger than five square metres, it needs to drain to a soakaway or permeable area rather than run onto the road. Otherwise you may need planning permission. We build yours the compliant way as standard, so it's never a problem.

Can you actually fix a waterlogged lawn?

In most cases, yes. It usually comes down to land drains carrying the water to a soakaway sized for your ground. We'll survey it first and tell you honestly what will make the difference.

Does rain stop you working?

Not for drainage. It's water work, so a wet day is often the best time to see exactly where the problem is. That means we can usually fit drainage jobs in quickly.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full public liability insurance.
