Expert Garden & Land Drainage Installation in Chorley
Stop Your Garden from Flooding Every Time it Rains
Is your garden unusable for six months of the year? For many homeowners in Chorley, Buckshaw Village, and across Lancashire, a "wet lawn" is an understatement. With the region’s notorious heavy clay soil and increasing rainfall, surface water often has nowhere to go, leading to stagnant pools, moss-ridden grass, and even damp issues for your home.
At Mitre Civils UK, we are professional land drainage contractors specializing in residential and commercial solutions that turn "swamps" back into usable outdoor living spaces.
Targeted Solutions for Lancashire’s "Clay Belt"
Standard gardening techniques like spiking or adding sand rarely work on the compacted subsoils found in the PR6 and PR7 areas. We provide engineered drainage systems that actually solve the problem:
1. Land Drainage Pipe Installation
We install high-performance perforated piping systems (often in a Herringbone pattern) that act as an underground network to collect and whisk away excess water before it can pool on your surface.
​
2. Professional French Drains
Ideal for perimeter drainage and protecting foundations. Our French drains are custom-built with deep trenches, non-clogging geotextile membranes, and clean aggregate to ensure a lifetime of free-flowing water.
​
3. Garden Soakaway Systems
If you have no direct access to a main storm drain, we install high-capacity attenuation crates. These "underground reservoirs" hold large volumes of storm water and allow it to dissipate slowly and safely back into the ground.
​
4. Surface Water & Aco Drainage
For flooded patios, driveways, or paths, we install discreet channel drains (Aco drains) that intercept runoff and prevent it from ever reaching your lawn.
