Drainage & Groundworks
Soakaways, channel drainage and solid bases that fix water and support builds.
Drainage & Groundworks done properly
Standing water and soft ground undermine even the best garden. We install soakaways and channel drainage to move surface water away, and build compacted bases and foundations for patios, buildings and garden offices.

Drainage & Groundworks: what customers say
Genuine Google reviews from projects like this one.
“Simon and Mike have transformed our weed ridden old paving stone patio into a stunning bright new patio area. The old walls were removed and three skip loads of soil removed to lower the area. New brick walls and steps were built and a soak away with Aco drainage installed. Previously there had been a pooling of water after heavy rain. Simon kept to his quote and we have no hesitation in recommending Winchester Landscapes to anyone considering having a patio makeover.”

“Very happy with the work Simon and his team have done. They did the foundations for our garden office and put turf in our back garden.”

“Simon took time to listen to what I wanted done in my garden. His quote gave a clear and itemized breakdown of the costs. Access was difficult, and the team was careful to protect our property. There was no collateral damage in spite of some large equipment being brought onto site. They did a good job of cleaning up afterwards. A very stress free project!”
