Meet Jackson

Why Choose a Professional Groundworker?

Many landscapers focus only on what you see on the surface. But in Scotland, where heavy rain is constant, the most important part of any driveway, patio, or fence is what lies underneath (the groundworks and drainage).

Jackson works as a professional groundworker and drainage specialist subcontracting for major, multi-award-winning UK house builders. Through Jacksons Drainage — New Build/Extensions Drainage Systems™, he offers a highly-specialised weekend and evening service, executing major groundwork, excavation, and storm-water drainage projects to commercial building standards.

No Weekday Disruption

Ideal for work-from-home homeowners. No noisy excavation during your weekday Zoom calls.

Weekend Specialist

We show up on Saturdays and Sundays when you are home to see progress, with high-intensity execution.

Honest, Reliable Pricing

Clear, transparent quotes with no hidden fees or cutting corners.

Ayrshire & Coastal Coverage

Proudly serving Ayrshire, Greenock, Gourock and surrounding coastal areas.

The Scottish Weather Solution

Tired of a Soggy, Flooded Garden?
Let's Drain It Properly.

In Scotland, "sunny blue sky" days are rare. Most landscapers build gardens during dry spells, only for the lawns to turn into swamps and driveways to pool with water as soon as winter hits.

Because of Jackson's extensive daily experience with major house builder groundworks, he is a specialist in residential drainage and groundworks. He knows how to assess your soil, calculate proper fall slopes, and install professional drainage solutions that channel water away from your home and garden permanently.

French Drain Installation

Perforated pipes wrapped in geotextile fabric and surrounded by clean gravel to redirect heavy groundwater flow.

Sub-Base Compaction

Excavation to correct depths and heavy machine compaction to guarantee no shifting under monoblock paving.

Our Guarantee

  • Premium Materials Only: We never cut corners on geotextile membranes, sub-base depths, or mortar.
  • Ayrshire Ground Experts: We understand local soil profiles and coastal weather conditions.
  • Jacksons Drainage™ Standards: Rigorous structural engineering, drainage layout and excavation standards used on major new-build developments.
