Stop Drainage Problems Before They Spread
Standing water, soggy lawns and flooding after rain can cause long-term problems. Poor drainage damages gardens, weakens foundations and can even lead to damp inside your home.
With help from Backhouse Construction & Landscaping, you can prevent these issues early and keep your property safe, stable and dry all year.
Reliable Solutions Built to Last
Without proper drainage, water can pool and soil can lose nutrients over time. Our systems are designed to work with your land, not against it.
We use durable materials and proven methods that protect your home, prevent flooding and keep your garden in top condition all year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a drainage system?
Pooling water, compacted soil or dying plants are clear signs. Damp patches indoors can also mean water is not draining properly underground.
What’s the difference between a French drain and a soakaway?
A French drain channels water away using gravel and pipework while a soakaway disperses it underground into the soil. Both prevent surface flooding and water build-up.
Can proper drainage improve my garden?
Yes. Good drainage helps roots breathe, keeps soil healthy and supports stronger growth across your plants and lawn.

They corrected a high gully cover and the step stopped pooling. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping made it look easy.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were recommended by two neighbours after last winter’s deluge. They arrived on time, checked falls with a laser and explained in simple terms how a French drain would ease the pressure on our patio.
The crew used boards to protect the lawn and relaid the turf neatly after. We were given photos of each stage which made the whole thing feel transparent. First proper downpour since and the water slipped away rather than sitting sulky by the door. I felt oddly proud looking out at a dry path for once.

We worried about sending water to the neighbour by accident. Dan measured both gardens, set the outlet sensibly and showed us on a sketch.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping worked with tarps and boards so nothing got churned up. They even rescued a robin’s nest by shifting a ladder. It rained hard the next day and not a puddle lingered. Honest guidance, careful hands and a result that just works.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sorted our driveway where water always crept into the garage. They lifted one strip of blocks, set a channel grate dead straight and re laid everything so the line reads as if it was always there.
Even the sandy jointing matched. The site was swept, the kerb rinsed and the gate latched for the dog. Next storm the floor stayed dry and the car mats didn’t get splashed. I didn’t realise how much background stress that little flood caused until it stopped happening.

Dan treated our driveway like his own. He lifted a strip, laid a channel grate and patched the blocks back beautifully.
No standing water by the garage now.

Dan used a string line to show fall. It clicked instantly.
He installed a compact soakaway and the clay patch finally behaves.

Dan arrived with dye and a hose to test flow rather than guess. He found a buried gully, regraded a short run and added a French drain through the lawn.
Clear steps, tidy finish and a follow up call two days later.

Landlord here. Needed a fix between tenancies.
They installed a small soakaway and cleared roots from an old pipe. Tenants moved in to dry paths and a happy agent.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping solved a long standing damp patch on the side path. They added a narrow channel beside the wall and tied it into a soakaway.
Since then the bricks have dried to their old colour and the hallway smells fresh.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping protected the borders with boards, washed down the slabs and shut the gate for the dog. Simple courtesies that matter.

Dan coordinated with our electrician so the new sump power supply was installed neatly. He labelled the breaker, left aftercare notes and even a little diagram for future reference.
The system hums quietly in the background and the basement steps are finally dry after years of worry for us all.

Dan traced the puddle to a flat run, fitted a slim drain and linked it neatly under lawn. First storm since and the threshold stayed dry.
