What we do
A waterlogged garden is more than an inconvenience - standing water kills lawns, damages paving, undermines foundations and makes outdoor space unusable. With the wet Irish climate, drainage problems are common, especially on heavy clay soil or low-lying sites. Our team diagnoses the real cause of the problem, then installs a drainage system built to last - French drains, soakaways, channel drains and land drainage networks designed for your specific ground conditions.
French drains
Gravel-filled trenches with perforated pipe that collect and redirect surface water away from problem areas.
Soakaways
Underground chambers that disperse collected water safely into the surrounding soil.
Land drainage
Networked drainage for fields, paddocks and large gardens where surface water needs a proper route away.
Driveway & patio drainage
Channel drains and fall correction so water never pools on hard surfaces.
Pricing note: A simple French drain typically starts around €800-€1,500, with larger land drainage projects quoted individually after a site visit.
How it works
- 01
Diagnosis
We find the cause - soil type, springs, surface run-off or poor falls - not just the symptom.
- 02
Design
The right drainage layout is planned for your ground conditions and the disposal point.
- 03
Installation
Excavation, pipe and gravel installation carried out cleanly with the correct falls.
- 04
Restoration
Lawns, paths or patios are reinstated over the completed system.
Frequently asked
- Do I need planning permission for a soakaway?
- Most garden soakaways don't need permission, but discharging to public sewers does - we design to comply with Irish regulations.
- How long does a French drain installation take?
- Most residential jobs are completed in 1-3 days depending on the length and access.
- Will drainage fix my boggy lawn?
- In most cases yes. If the problem is poor drainage rather than a high water table, a properly installed system will fix it permanently.
- How much does garden drainage cost?
- It depends on the system size - a simple French drain typically starts around €800-€1,500, with larger land drainage projects quoted individually.
- Can you drain a paddock or field?
- Yes, we install agricultural-grade land drainage for paddocks, fields and equestrian properties.
- Do you work in winter?
- Yes - winter is often the best time to see exactly where the water is pooling.
