Kelvedon combines an established Essex village setting with a varied selection of period properties, traditional family homes and newer residential development, creating different drainage requirements from one part of the village to another. Older properties may have drainage arrangements that have been altered over many years as extensions, conservatories and garages have been added, while newer and modernised homes frequently feature larger driveways, patios and outdoor living spaces that increase surface water runoff. Properties towards the edges of Kelvedon can also have larger gardens, mature planting and outbuildings that create additional drainage considerations. We carefully assess each property's ground conditions, natural levels, existing drainage and landscaping before designing a bespoke soakaway system that provides dependable long-term rainwater management without compromising the appearance or usability of the garden.

Soakaway Installation in Kelvedon


At Essex Landscaping, we provide professional soakaway installation throughout Kelvedon, designing underground drainage systems that help homeowners manage rainwater safely and effectively. From persistent puddles across lawns and driveways to additional runoff created by extensions, patios and garden buildings, we provide individually planned drainage solutions designed around the requirements of each property.

A soakaway provides temporary underground storage for collected rainwater before allowing it to gradually disperse into suitable surrounding ground. When correctly designed, this can provide an effective way of dealing with water from roof downpipes, drainage channels and other surface water collection points while reducing unwanted pooling around the property.

Rather than installing a standard system, we assess how water behaves across the entire site. Ground conditions, property levels, existing drainage, hard landscaping and the amount of rainwater requiring management are all considered before we recommend the most appropriate solution.

Our Soakaway Installation Process


Before recommending a soakaway, we first investigate the cause and extent of the drainage problem.

We assess where rainwater originates, how it travels across the property and where it currently accumulates. Roof catchment areas, paved surfaces, garden levels, existing pipework and available installation space are all considered alongside the suitability of the surrounding ground for infiltration.

Once the appropriate drainage arrangement has been established, the installation area is carefully excavated and prepared. Depending on the project, modular soakaway crates or another suitable construction method can then be installed before connecting the required underground drainage pipework.

After the system has been completed, affected areas are carefully backfilled and reinstated wherever practical. The result is a discreet underground drainage system designed to work alongside the property's existing garden and landscaping.
