Stop Yard Flooding, Soggy Lawns & Water Damage Before It Starts.

The investment for backyard drainage depends entirely on the size of your property, soil type, and excavation access. Simple trench drain installations start at a lower price point, while comprehensive subsurface AG pipe networks require more excavation, aggregate rock, and geotextile fabric. We provide 100% free, upfront quotes on-site so you know the exact cost before any work begins.

Generally, standard residential backyard drainage, French drains, and AG lines do not require council approval, provided they connect correctly to your existing internal stormwater system. However, Australian regulations strictly prohibit redirecting your water onto a neighbour's property. Our licensed team ensures all installations comply with City of Gold Coast guidelines and plumbing standards.

Surface drainage (like trench grates, spoon drains, and grated pits) captures fast-moving rainwater directly from concrete, driveways, and roofs before it can pool. Subsoil drainage (like French drains and AG lines) sits underground and targets groundwater that has already soaked into the earth, preventing spongy lawns, rising damp, and foundation damage.

Yes. While it is easiest to install drainage in open soil, we can safely cut and lift existing concrete driveways or pathways to install heavy-duty trench channels. For major gardens and retaining walls, we use targeted excavation techniques to minimise disruption to your landscaping while ensuring maximum water relief.
