Surface choices backed by drainage planning
Runoff routes assessed
We trace likely water movement before fixing levels and surface falls.
Permeable build options
We can specify open-graded bases where ground and design suit them.
Connected garden drainage
We consider drives, patios and planted areas within the same water plan.
Plan where the rainwater will go
A new drive or patio can look perfectly level while sending every downpour towards the wrong door. We plan landscaping and surfacing in Basingstoke with drainage treated as part of the construction, not an accessory added at the edge. Our landscaping company assesses falls, subsoil stability, water movement and expected vehicle loading before excavation begins. Depending on the property, suitable options may include permeable resin surfacing, soakaways, French drains or linear channels. We also consider how runoff from a drive relates to lawns, planting areas and adjoining paving, because water is not known for respecting the border between separate parts of a quote.
Stable preparation for permeable surfaces
Permeability depends on more than the visible resin layer. Where the site requires a SuDS-suitable build, we specify an appropriate open-graded base and consider whether the underlying ground can manage infiltration. Wider landscaping may involve grading, retaining features or drainage routes that lead water safely through the garden. For Basingstoke projects, we set out excavation, aggregate, compaction, edges and drainage in the written specification. You can review our resin driveway and landscaping pages for the material details, while the site survey determines which combination makes sense for your actual levels and ground.
Frequently asked questions
Does a resin driveway always meet SuDS requirements?
Not automatically. The resin surface must sit over a suitable permeable build, and the site must have an appropriate drainage design. We assess soil, levels, runoff and loading before confirming the specification.
Which drainage options might suit our property?
Possible options include permeable paving, soakaways, French drains and channel drainage. Their suitability depends on ground conditions, available space, levels and where collected water can be managed safely.
Can drainage be included with a wider landscaping project?
Yes. We can coordinate surface falls, grading, paths, retaining features and planted areas around one drainage plan. The written quote identifies each element while keeping the construction sequence connected.
