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 about drainage work
Check how waste will be managed
Ask how waste arising from the groundwork will be handled and which materials the contractor expects to remove from the site. Different waste types may require different disposal arrangements, particularly if unexpected material is uncovered during excavation.
Where necessary, ask for clarification about who is responsible for arranging appropriate removal.
Check the site before final sign-off
When the groundwork is complete, inspect the site with the contractor and compare the result with the agreed scope, drawings or specification where relevant. Clarify any outstanding work and confirm how excavated material and waste have been handled.
Keep the final invoice together with relevant written records or information supplied about the completed work.
Ask about machinery and site access
Find out what machinery the contractor expects to use and whether there is suitable access to the working area. Narrow entrances, overhead restrictions, soft ground and neighbouring property can affect equipment choices and working methods.
Discuss access during the quotation stage so practical limitations can be considered before the project starts.
Ask for a detailed written quotation
Request a written quotation describing the proposed groundwork and what is included within the price. Check whether excavation, aggregates, concrete, drainage materials, machinery, labour and waste removal are covered where relevant.
A detailed quotation makes it easier to compare providers and identify differences in the scope of their proposals.
Ask how excavated material will be handled
Groundwork can produce substantial quantities of soil, rubble and other excavated material. Ask whether this will be reused on site, stockpiled for later work or removed as waste, and establish what is included within the quoted price.
Clear arrangements can prevent uncertainty about both disposal costs and the condition of the site afterwards.

We had groundworks done as the first part of a bigger garden project and it made a huge difference. The area was dug out and then built back up properly so it didn’t feel like we were cutting corners.
The surface was left ready for the next stage which saved time later. It also helped that the site wasn’t left in chaos at the end of each day.

Andy and team handled the groundwork stage for our front area and it was done in a calm, organised way. They kept things moving without turning the place into chaos and the end result feels firm and well prepared.
The space now looks ready for surfacing and the shape fits the area properly. It’s been a good experience from start to finish.

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.
