Driveway Drainage in Walton

Driveway Drainage in Walton

Water has to go somewhere, and on a hard-surfaced front garden in Walton it often ends up on the pavement or against the front door. The district's mix of dense terraces and wider suburban plots gives two different drainage stories: on terraces there is very little room to send water anywhere, while larger gardens can often accommodate a soakaway or a planted border that takes the flow. Driveway drainage in Walton is about working out which applies to you. A channel drain across the entrance, corrected falls or a permeable surface may be the answer, depending on space and ground. Seeing how the drive behaves in a downpour is the best way to start.

Planning driveway drainage in Walton

Walton's inner terraces limit your options, since a soakaway needs space away from the building and ground that drains. Where it cannot be done, a channel drain with a controlled outlet may be needed, but any connection to a public drain or sewer involves the relevant authorities, so check with Liverpool City Council and the water company. On wider plots, grading the surface towards a lawn or border can solve the problem more simply. Wherever the water ends up, it should not flow onto the highway.
