Our Groundworks Services Process
We begin with site assessment and specification review, understanding exactly what the project requires. Digging and excavation remove material to correct depths and widths, with spoil managed appropriately. Formation levels are established accurately to ensure consistency across the site.
Sub-bases and bases are laid and compacted in layers, with each layer checked before proceeding. Drainage runs and footings are excavated and prepared where required, with connections planned for later installation.
Throughout, we maintain site safety, manage materials efficiently, and coordinate with follow-on trades or phases.
Groundworks FAQs
What sub-base specifications are typical for landscaping?
Type 1 hardcore at 100mm to 200mm depth, compacted in layers, provides standard sub-base for patios and paths. Driveways typically require deeper sub-bases depending on usage. Bases and footings are prepared to suit the structure they support. Transparent quotes include all materials and compaction work required.
How do you ensure accurate levels across sites?
Levels are set and checked throughout excavation and sub-base installation to ensure accuracy. Falls for drainage are built into the formation to prevent standing water and future issues.
Can you handle sites with difficult ground conditions?
Ground conditions are assessed during the initial survey, and excavation depth, bases, levelling, or drainage methods are adjusted accordingly to ensure stability.
What drainage preparation is included in groundworks?
Drainage preparation includes excavating routes, setting correct falls, and preparing runs ready for later connection as part of the wider project.
How do you manage spoil from excavation?
Spoil can be reused for levelling where suitable or removed from site if required. This is discussed during consultation so disposal is clear and agreed upfront.
What compaction standards are used for stable sub-base?
Sub-bases are compacted in layers using appropriate equipment to create a stable foundation that resists settlement and movement over time.

Client Advice
Ask for a detailed written quotation
Understand the payment terms
Confirm when payments will be required and whether a deposit is requested before machinery or materials are arranged. For larger groundwork projects, ask whether staged payments apply and what progress each payment relates to.
Recording the agreed payment schedule in writing provides a useful reference throughout the work.
Ask about drainage work
If drainage forms part of the groundwork, ask for a clear explanation of what is being installed, altered or connected. Confirm which pipes, channels, chambers or other components are included where relevant and who is responsible for any later connections.
Written clarification is particularly useful where groundwork forms only one stage of a larger project.
Check relevant permissions and requirements
Some groundwork may form part of work requiring planning, building control, drainage approval or other permissions depending on the project. Establish who is responsible for checking and arranging anything applicable before construction starts.
Where requirements are uncertain, obtain appropriate guidance from the relevant authority or suitably qualified professional rather than relying on assumptions.
Check who will complete the work
Ask whether the contractor providing the quotation will carry out the groundwork directly or whether employees or subcontractors will undertake particular stages. Subcontracting is not necessarily a concern, but understanding responsibilities can make communication easier.
Establish who will supervise the site and who you should contact if questions arise during the project.
Confirm suitable insurance cover
Ask whether the provider holds suitable public liability insurance for the groundwork being proposed. Insurance does not guarantee workmanship, but it can provide reassurance if accidental damage or injury occurs during the project.
Ask what cover applies to the work and whether appropriate evidence can be provided if reasonably requested.

We had groundworks done as the first stage of a bigger garden project and it set everything up properly. Andy and team dug out to the right depth, built up the base in layers and checked levels throughout.
Drainage falls were planned so water won’t sit where it shouldn’t. The area was left ready for the next trade which kept the whole project moving.

We needed the garden area shaped correctly before doing anything else. The ground now feels even and properly set up and it’s made planning the next stage much easier.
It’s one of those jobs you don’t really notice once it’s done but you’d definitely notice if it wasn’t.

We needed groundworks for a patio and a short path and the job was handled well. The digging was accurate, the base was built up properly and the levels make sense with the house and garden.
It’s made everything feel more straightforward because the groundwork is done right. The area was handed over clean and ready to continue.
