🧱 Driveway & Patio Drainage Ipswich – Why It Matters More Than You Think

If you're planning a new driveway or patio installation in Ipswich, Woodbridge or across Suffolk, one thing that often gets overlooked is drainage. Without it, you’re just asking for long-term problems — water pooling, cracks, subsidence, moss build-up, and even foundation damage.
At UK Paving And Brickwork, we don’t just lay surfaces – we build them to last. Here’s why proper drainage should be one of the first things you consider when planning your patio or driveway project.

💧 Why Is Drainage So Important?

1. Prevents Water Damage
With the British weather as unpredictable as it is, rain is a given. Without adequate drainage, water builds up on your patio or driveway — weakening the sub-base and leading to cracks, weed growth, and sunken blocks.
As experienced driveway installers in Ipswich, we know how critical it is to keep water moving away from your property.

2. Stops Puddles & Standing Water
Puddles are annoying, slippery, and ruin the look of your outdoor space.
We install bespoke drainage systems with every job, whether you want a block paved driveway in Kesgrave or a porcelain patio in Woodbridge.

3. Protects Landscaping
Drainage protects not just your hard surfaces but also your lawn, beds, and borders from erosion and waterlogging.
