Drainage Contractors in Malton

Our back door always trapped a puddle right where the pram wheels land. Dan lowered the threshold gully, added a slim drain and tied it neatly to the soakaway.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping swept the path, closed the gate for the cat and left a friendly follow up email. We walked out after last night’s rain and nothing squished. Small fix, massive difference for daily life.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave us honest options with costs. We picked the mid tier and it was exactly right.

They kept soil and gravel separate on tarps, relaid turf in tight seams and washed the patio before leaving. The first proper downpour since and the difference is night and day. I’m genuinely relieved every time it rains now.

Our rental gets hit hard by westerlies and puddles near the back step. I needed a swift solution between tenancies.

Dan’s team arrived early, lifted just what they had to, and installed a neat gully with a short pipe run to a soakaway. They photographed everything for the file so our agent has proof for future checks. The new tenants moved into dry paving, not a mini lake. Clear pricing, zero drama and a finish that blends in rather than shouting “repair.”

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sent Dan to assess our soggy borders. He mapped the downpipes and added a discreet channel.

After last week’s storm the beds looked chuffed, not drowned.

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.

We’d had three quotes and too much waffle. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were different.

Straight talk, clear drawing, sensible price. They put boards down to protect the lawn, dug the trench with care and left borders intact. Dan answered my daft questions cheerfully and even labelled a photo set for future reference. House smells fresh again after years of musty corners. That relief alone is worth the fee.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping priced fairly for the amount of digging. No surprises on the invoice.

The result is simple and effective which is exactly what we wanted. Communication was clear all along.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping traced our damp dining wall to a flat section outside the French doors. They cut a slim slot drain, matched the paving beautifully and linked it to an outlet under the lawn so nothing shows.

I appreciated the polite heads up before noisy bits and the way the lads stacked tools out of reach of the kids. The hallway already smells fresher. It is such a relief to walk out after rain and find no shine of standing water mocking you.

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 gave straight answers and a written plan. French drain to the lawn, new connection to the downpipe.

Tidy crew, respectful of beds and paving.

Dan rang after the first storm to check everything behaved. Small gesture, big confidence.

Dry paths at last.

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.

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

After storms last winter the lawn squelched for days. The team dug test holes, checked soil and proposed a simple network.

Two weeks later the grass bounced back instead of bogging down.
