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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed a gully along the drive and relaid blocks so the line reads straight. They left a little diagram for our files and labelled where things run.
Two storms in and the garage is bone dry. Neighbours noticed the difference instantly. Professional, polite and careful with plants.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping produced a simple drawing for our builder showing depths, gravel size and connections. That avoided any crossed wires.
On site they were polite, careful with the patio doors and swept the road when finished. Value felt fair for the skill involved and the result speaks for itself.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping found the issue within minutes. The gullies were too high.
New covers, a proper fall and a short run to a soakaway. Garden usable again.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping looked after our place as if it were theirs. Mats down through the side gate, tools stacked safely, no loud radios.
They finished earlier than expected and walked us round the job with photos of the pipework. Professional, respectful and worth recommending to anyone we know.

Our veg bed drowned every shower. They added a shallow land drain behind it and a discreet outlet to the soakaway.
Dan showed me how to keep gravel breathing and left spare grid for the gully. First rain and the bed held shape. I’m genuinely chuffed. Feels like the garden can breathe again.

Dan arrived early, lifted a few slabs and found the clay pan. He suggested a short French drain and a soakaway under the lawn.
Clear, calm and it works brilliantly.

Dan checked next door’s level first which I appreciated. A small soakaway and corrected fall later, the lawn held firm.
Friendly bloke, knows his stuff.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping priced the job sensibly and stuck to the figure. They gave photo updates at each stage which was great while I was at work.
The finished trench is invisible now the gravel has settled and the grass is happier.

Dan re set a gully, added gravel trench behind the bed and explained upkeep in plain English. Two storms on and the path is dry.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were respectful with our borders. Mats down, plants moved gently, everything put back.
Dan explained how the soakaway breathes and what to avoid when gardening nearby. Invoice matched the quote and included a little diagram for our files. First test in a storm came and went. No lake, no panic. Just a sensible fix done well.

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.

Dan arrived early, tested with dye and showed exactly where water stalled. He fitted a short French drain and a tidy gully.
Quiet, careful and effective.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave a clear, honest quote and stuck to it. They protected the driveway, stacked spoil tidily and recycled what they could.
Dan set a gentle curve on the trench so it reads natural under turf. The first big storm since and the garden held its shape. No lakes, no mud trails, just a calm, functioning space. Class work.
