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 traced our puddles to a blocked run and planned a French drain. Clear advice, fair price and tidy work.
First heavy rain since and the lawn stayed firm. Relief at last.

Our terraced yard became a shallow pond whenever the alley gulley blocked. Dan arrived with good humour, found the low point in minutes and designed a shallow channel to a tidy soakaway.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping kept the neighbours in the loop, worked quietly and cleaned the lane at the end. First proper rain and everything behaved. I’m chuffed with how simple the fix looks. It blends in like it was always meant to be there.

Dan worked through a hail shower with a grin and a waterproof jacket. He kept spirits up, cracked the odd joke and never rushed a thing.
Levels are bang on and the trench line is invisible now the gravel has settled. We were chuffed with the whole experience from booking to signoff.

Dan arrived on time, listened to the story of floods past and didn’t roll his eyes once. He found a low gully, corrected the height and installed a French drain through the worst patch.
He explained aftercare in simple words and followed up two days later. Courteous, thorough and reassuring from start to finish.

We’re a family of five with a football mad spaniel. The lawn used to turn to soup every Saturday.
Dan fitted a French drain through the worst strip and connected a discreet soakaway under the goal. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping relaid turf tight and left the square looking like a bowling green. Two relentless showers later and it still felt firm. The dog came in clean. That alone sold us.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Dan checked levels with a laser and marked tiny arrows in chalk so I could see flow. We agreed positions together.
He is calm, methodical and leaves no mess. Two downpours later the beds stood proud after rain.

Dan followed up after the downpour to check all was well. That reassurance sealed it for us.
Proper service and a solid result.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping surveyed during a downpour, which felt fitting. They marked flow with chalk arrows, then proposed a short French drain to a discreet soakaway.
The crew lifted turf carefully, saved every roll and relaid it snug. First storm since and the patio stayed dry, lawn springy not swampy. Clear plan, fair bill, tidy finish.
