Drainage for homes in East Runton
Landscaping Norfolk provides garden and driveway drainage in East Runton and across the wider North Norfolk area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so East Runton is well within our normal working area.
East Runton is a small coastal village with a village green, holiday parks and a cluster of houses along the coast road towards Cromer. We work on patios, fencing and driveways for both permanent residents and holiday-let owners here.
Standing water on a lawn, a patio that floods in heavy rain, or a driveway that sends water towards the front door: all of these are drainage problems, and all of them can be fixed. We install French drains, land drains, soakaways, channel drains and aco drains across Norfolk.
Local knowledge
Drainage and the ground around East Runton
The sandy ground around East Runton usually drains well, so waterlogging here is often caused by a compacted layer, a clay pocket or run-off from a hard surface rather than the soil itself. Soakaways work well in these conditions once the cause has been found.
Coastal villages like East Runton take the full force of the weather off the North Sea. Fencing is set deeper and fixed with galvanised or stainless fixings, and walls and paving are chosen to suit the exposure and the traditional flint and brick character of the village.

Drainage in East Runton: common questions

What is a French drain?
A trench filled with gravel, usually with a perforated pipe in the bottom, that collects water from the surrounding ground and carries it away to a soakaway or outfall. It is the standard fix for a waterlogged lawn or a wet area against a wall.
Where does the water go?
Usually into a soakaway, which is a gravel or crate-filled pit that lets water drain into the ground. In heavy clay a soakaway may not work and we will look at an alternative outfall.
Can you fix a patio that floods?
Yes. Often it is a matter of adding a channel drain and correcting the falls. If the patio was laid without falls it may need lifting and re-laying, which we can also do.
