Attempting soakaway driveway drainage after builder leaves job

[@f.demascio1857]

You're like me. When the pros fall short, suit up and finish the job. Good work man.

Yeah man, I get monumental anxiety letting others work on my stuff.

Shoulda had the tracks facing the hole with the blade down , very lucky 😮

[@leadworksw]

So lucky 🍀

Nice one. You should have been lifting the bags over the dozer blade for maximum power.👍

[@leadworksw]

Yeah definitely. But never again 😂

We live in Kingston Upon Thames. It took me 3 full planning applications and 10 years before the council granted me permission. Full planning , not building regulations control , full planning permission. It was crazy. They told us we needed a soakaway with the drainage channel right across the width of the drive. They also wanted a planting area , 1 metre wide , 7 metres long for more drainage. Once all that was done , they had to drop the kerb for the crossover. All in all , it took 10 years from the first application, to when it was finished. Cost a bloody fortune. But I tell you what , where we live , parking is a nightmare.! It was worth the wait and the money......😅

I feel with you. Muddy hell

How much parking do you need? Already have a drive, plus more on the street. No wonder England floods so much….everyone strips the vegetation away and paves the crap out of the earth

[@leadworksw]

All the parking 🅿️
