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

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.

Ask how unexpected work will be agreed

Excavation can reveal conditions that were not visible when the original quotation was prepared. Ask how additional excavation, materials or other unforeseen work would be explained and priced before proceeding beyond the agreed scope.

Significant variations are best confirmed in writing so both parties understand the revised work and cost.

Understand the full cost

Compare the complete groundwork proposal rather than focusing only on labour or machinery rates. Excavation, aggregates, concrete, drainage products, equipment, haulage and disposal of excavated material can all contribute to the overall cost.

Ask whether foreseeable additional charges and VAT, where applicable, have been included within the quotation.

Ask how your property will be protected

Excavators, dumpers and deliveries can affect driveways, lawns, paths, walls and other parts of a property outside the immediate working area. Ask how access routes and surrounding features will be managed during the groundwork.

Agreeing where machinery, aggregates and excavated material can be positioned can help reduce avoidable disruption.

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.

Ask about excavation requirements

Ask the contractor to explain the excavation proposed for your project and what information has been used to determine it. Depth, ground conditions, existing structures and the intended construction can all affect what is required.

Where excavation depends on technical drawings or specifications, make sure the contractor has the relevant information before work begins.
