Expertly designed soak holes for efficient water absorption and runoff prevention


Soak holes play a critical role in correct stormwater management by allowing excess water to be absorbed into the ground, preventing surface runoff from damaging your property. At Lakeland Excavators, we design and install custom soak hole systems to meet your specific drainage needs.

We begin by assessing your site’s soil type, water flow patterns, and drainage requirements to determine the best placement and design for the soak hole. Our skilful installation ensures that the soakhole is properly constructed and lined, allowing for quick water absorption while protecting your property from waterlogging and erosion. With our tailored soak hole solutions, you can trust that your property’s drainage system will perform appropriately over time.

We use quality materials to ensure durable drainage systems


A drainage system’s reliability depends on the quality of the materials used in its construction. At Lakeland Excavators, we use high-quality materials, including concrete and PVC, for all our drainage projects. These materials are known for their durability, strength, and ability to withstand the demands of various environments.

We provide a range of sizes and specifications to ensure that each project is completed to the highest standards, with flexibility to suit different site requirements. By choosing our top-grade materials, you can be confident that your drainage system will be built to last and perform well, even under challenging conditions.

Cement stabilisation: reinforcing the foundation of your drainage systems


One of the challenges drainage systems face is soil erosion and settlement, which can undermine their stability over time. To address this issue, Lakeland Excavators offers cement stabilisation services that reinforce the soil, improving the strength and load-bearing capacity of drainage foundations.

Our cement stabilisation process involves binding and solidifying subgrade materials, creating a firm, stable base for your drainage system. This technique helps ensure the long-term durability and results of your drainage infrastructure, reducing the risk of erosion and settlement that could compromise the performance of your system.
