Drainage for homes in Horsford
Landscaping Norfolk provides garden and driveway drainage in Horsford and across the wider Broadland 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 Horsford is well within our normal working area.
Horsford is a large village on the northern edge of Norwich, on the light sandy soils around the Horsford woods. Newer estates and older homes along the Holt Road both keep us busy with patios, driveways and fencing.
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 Horsford
The sandy ground around Horsford 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.
In villages like Horsford it is important that new work sits comfortably with older buildings. We match materials to the local character, whether that means flint, red brick, gravel or natural stone, and keep the site tidy and neighbours informed.

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.
