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.

Dan spoke to our elderly neighbour before digging near the boundary which eased everyone’s nerves. He explained how the soakaway works and why the trench needed that depth.
Courteous, steady and clearly experienced. The lawn sat up within a week instead of squelching.

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’s follow up was the clincher. He rang after the first big storm to check everything behaved, then emailed the photos for our records.
That sort of courtesy builds trust. The patio edge now sheds water cleanly and the damp smell indoors has gone. We slept easy for the first time in months.

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.

We’d had a flooded lawn every autumn since buying the place. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping finally diagnosed clay and a dead end pipe.
They installed a soakaway sized to the roof area, a neat French drain along the fence and corrected the patio fall. Dan walked us through aftercare, left labelled photos and checked in after the first storm. The difference is absurd. No squelch, no standing water, just grass that bounces. Best money we’ve spent on the house.

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.

Dan turned up with dye, hose and patience. He traced water along the patio edge, then recommended a short run of perforated pipe with gravel that disappears under turf.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping worked neatly, lifted slabs cleanly and relaid them so the pattern lines up. After two heavy showers there’s no standing water, no slick patches by the door. Clear advice, tidy craft and a bill that matched the quote exactly. Feels like adulting done right.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were recommended by my brother. They traced damp in the porch back to a flat section outside, then added a narrow trench and corrected the threshold.
The brick is already drying to its old colour. Crew worked quietly, kept the gate shut for the dog and swept the street after.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were recommended by two neighbours after last winter’s flooding. They arrived on time, assessed with a laser and moisture meter, then produced a clear plan with costs and timings.
Installation was careful and tidy, and they photographed every stage. First proper downpour last night and the patio stayed dry end to end.

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.

Dan looked at the garden like a puzzle rather than a nuisance. He checked next door’s level, sketched a quick plan and talked through costs without fluff.
We agreed a French drain down the fence and a tiny gully by the step. The work itself felt quiet and methodical, with boards saving the borders from churn. The first soaking rain afterwards was the real test. Not a puddle left lurking, just grass that held its shape. I slept better that night than I have all winter.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping priced fairly and stuck to it. We got photos of each stage and a clean site at the end.
The lawn finally feels firm underfoot.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sorted our driveway where water always crept into the garage. They lifted one strip of blocks, set a channel grate dead straight and re laid everything so the line reads as if it was always there.
Even the sandy jointing matched. The site was swept, the kerb rinsed and the gate latched for the dog. Next storm the floor stayed dry and the car mats didn’t get splashed. I didn’t realise how much background stress that little flood caused until it stopped happening.
