Stop Drainage Problems Before They Spread
Standing water, soggy lawns and flooding after rain can cause long-term problems. Poor drainage damages gardens, weakens foundations and can even lead to damp inside your home.
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.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave a clear diagram with arrows for flow. Even I understood it.
Install day was calm, tidy and polite. We felt looked after the whole time.

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.

Dan checked the neighbour’s level first, then set the outlet sensibly. Courteous, calm and thorough.

Dan returned a week later to check settlement and raked the gravel where the dog had scuffed it. Small gesture, big smile from us.
The system is quiet, effective and exactly what we needed for peace of mind this winter already.

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.

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

Dan checked next door’s level first which I appreciated. A small soakaway and corrected fall later, the lawn held firm.
Friendly bloke, knows his stuff.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sorted flooding on our drive without tearing everything up. They lifted a strip, set a channel grate, re laid the blocks and linked into an existing outlet.
Looks original, works perfectly and the garage is finally dry after storms.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping sent a tidy diagram with arrows so even I understood the plan. Rain clears away rather than loitering by the door.

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.

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.

Dan treated our driveway like his own. He lifted a strip, laid a channel grate and patched the blocks back beautifully.
No standing water by the garage now.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled our terrace flooding. They cut a neat slot drain along the edge, matched the paving and linked it to the downpipe.
Looks built in, not added on.
