Overview

Groundworks & Drainage in Egham

Every driveway, patio, garden room or lawn we build in Egham starts the same way: with proper groundworks. Hills Driveways & Patios carries out excavation, site preparation and drainage as a standalone service too, for Egham properties that need the ground sorted before anything else can go ahead, or where poor drainage is already causing problems.

We're Checkatrade-approved, and groundworks underpin everything else we do, so it's a service we take as seriously as the finished surface itself.

Garden and Surface Water Drainage in Egham

Garden and Surface Water Drainage in Egham

If water is pooling on your lawn, running towards your house, or sitting on a patio or driveway instead of draining away, the cause is usually the groundwork underneath rather than the surface itself. We assess where the water is coming from and install drainage solutions such as soakaways, drainage channels or land drains to move surface water away from the areas it's causing problems. This is garden and surface water drainage specifically, rather than internal plumbing or blocked drain repairs.

Site Preparation and Groundworks Services in Egham

Site Preparation and Groundworks Services in Egham

Beyond drainage, we carry out groundworks as a standalone service for Egham properties, including:

  • Excavation and site clearance
  • Levelling uneven or sloped ground
  • Compacted sub-base preparation ahead of a driveway, patio or garden room
  • Land drainage for gardens with persistent waterlogging

Cost

How Much Do Groundworks Cost in Egham?

The cost of groundworks depends on several factors:

  • The size of the area involved
  • How much excavation is needed
  • Ground conditions and existing drainage
  • Whether the work is preparing for a further project or a standalone drainage fix

Because of this, we don't quote over the phone. We visit your Egham property, assess the site, and give you a written, itemised quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does water keep pooling in my garden?

This is usually down to compacted soil, a lack of falls to direct water away, or ground that simply can't absorb water fast enough. We assess the cause on site before recommending a fix, rather than guessing.

Do I need groundworks before a new patio or driveway?

Yes. Proper excavation and a compacted sub-base are essential for any patio, driveway or garden room to stay level and avoid sinking or cracking over time. This is included as standard in our installation projects.

What's the difference between a soakaway and a drainage channel?

A soakaway allows water to disperse gradually into the surrounding ground, while a drainage channel collects and redirects surface water to a specific outlet. We'll recommend the right option based on your garden's conditions.

Do you fix garden drainage without doing a full landscaping project?

Yes. Groundworks and drainage are available as a standalone service if that's all you need.

Do you carry out groundworks for businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes. Alongside residential gardens, we carry out groundworks and drainage for commercial sites in Egham.
