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 solved a damp line in our hallway by tackling the patio outside. They lifted one course, set a slim channel and tied it to a new soakaway in the lawn.
The finish looks original, not patched. Weeks later the skirting is dry and paint is behaving.

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

I suspected our old clay pipe had collapsed. Dan proved it with a quick camera check, then priced two options and let us choose without pressure.
We went with a new run into a soakaway wrapped in membrane so it won’t clog. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping worked steadily, kept the drive open for school runs and swept the road before packing up. The basement air feels lighter already. It is amazing what a calm explanation and correct gradient can do for your nerves.

Dan didn’t rush the survey. He prodded the clay, took a few levels and used a bit of string to show me the fall.
I finally understood the issue. He fitted a compact soakaway sized for our roof and a gravel trench behind the raised bed so roots wouldn’t sit wet. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping kept spoil tidy and relaid the turf tight as a drum. The garden now dries quicker than my patience used to. It is the sort of fix you barely see yet feel every rainy day.

We’re landlords so timing mattered. Dan scheduled between tenancies, kept us updated with photos and finished a day early.
He corrected a backwards gully and tied it to a soakaway sized to the small garden. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handover pack was neat and clear. New tenants moved in to dry paths and a happy agent. Value for money and zero faff.

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 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.

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.

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.

Dan found a collapsed clay pipe under a rose bed. He talked us through options, priced both and let us decide without pressure.
The fix was neat, the roses survived and he followed up the next day to check flow after watering. Proper service with old fashioned care from start to finish.

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.

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

We live on a slope and kept sending water to the patio corner. Dan set a gentle fall away, fitted a slim grate and linked it into a new soakaway under lawn.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled spoil discreetly and recycled what they could. The patio now dries faster than my patience used to. Friendly, punctual and careful with detail.
