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.

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 arrived when they said and stayed cheerful through vile weather. Dan tested flow with dye so we could see the problem, then fixed a shallow fall and added a channel drain along the step.
He wiped the doors, rinsed the slabs and left us with labelled photos for future reference. Two storms have passed and the patio is bone dry. Relief is an understatement.

Dan carried out a calm assessment with a laser, string line and simple water test. He recommended a French drain behind the raised bed and a small gully by the step.
He cleaned as he went, chatted to our curious toddler and kept the gate latched for the cat. The result is quiet and effective. No fanfare needed, just good work that holds up in rain.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping surveyed with a laser and flagged the low spot by the patio doors. The drawing showed a shallow fall to a new gully.
Simple plan, big difference after rain.

Dan mapped the whole garden like a puzzle, even checked next door so we wouldn’t shift the problem. He fitted a channel by the conservatory, tied it into a soakaway and set the grates low enough to skim water cleanly.
He wiped the doors, hosed the path and left everything spotless. Proper job.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sorted a long standing puddle by our gate. They reset the threshold, fitted a slim gully and carried the run beneath a path without leaving a scar.
They cleaned the van tyres before leaving which tells you everything. Two storms later the entrance is dry and safe. Communication was prompt and polite from the first message to the last photo.

Dan turned up when he said he would, tested the fall with a level and explained everything in plain English. The soakaway went in neatly and the patio dries fast now.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled our side passage that always puddled at the back door. They cut a neat slot drain, matched the paving cuts and linked it to a small soakaway.
It looks original, not bolted on. Shoes and school bags aren’t soaked anymore. Communication was steady throughout and they tidied like they’d never been.

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.

Dan listened first, then talked through choices and costs. No pressure.
We picked the mid option and he scheduled quickly. The path is dry for the school run for once.

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 rescued our new lawn after a builder left it sitting in a bowl. They regraded gently, added perforated pipe and gravel sleeves, then trimmed the edges crisp.
The difference is immediate. Water disappears, the dog comes in clean and the grass actually looks happy. Straight talking, sensible pricing, careful workmanship.

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 priced fairly and stuck to the figure. The crew protected the borders with boards, washed down the path and left no scrap behind.
Communication was steady throughout which matters when you are nervous about digging near foundations. We feel reassured and the garden drains as it should.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave us a simple sketch showing falls, pipe runs and gravel depths. It made sense even to me.
On the day they worked cleanly, kept access open and left the patio washed. Professional from start to finish.
