Groundworks

Machine operating, excavation, drainage, bases and walling, the hard work underneath every good driveway, extension and garden.

What we do

  • Excavation and machine operating
  • Land drainage, French drains and soakaways
  • Sub-bases for driveways, patios and outbuildings
  • Concrete bases and slabs
  • Masonry brickwork and natural stone walling
  • Site clearance and waste removal

Everything we build depends on what goes underneath. Groundworks is where we started, and it is why our driveways and patios last.

Excavation and machine work

We run our own diggers and plant, so we can dig out driveways, level gardens and clear sites quickly and tidily, with waste taken away.

Drainage

Standing water ruins paving and lawns. We install French drains, land drains, channel drains and soakaways, and set proper falls so water goes where it should.

Bases and walling

We lay compacted sub-bases and concrete bases for driveways, patios, garden rooms and sheds, and build brick and natural stone walls, retaining walls and steps.

Questions

Common questions

Do you have your own machinery?

Yes. We operate our own diggers and compaction kit, which keeps jobs moving and costs down.

Can you fix a waterlogged garden?

Often, yes. French drains, soakaways and better falls can sort out standing water. We look at the ground and tell you what will work.

Do you do bases for garden rooms and sheds?

Yes, we lay concrete and paved bases for garden rooms, sheds and outbuildings.
