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 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.
Discuss ground conditions
Ask whether the contractor has identified any ground conditions that could influence the proposed work. Made-up ground, high water levels, unsuitable material or unexpected obstructions can sometimes affect excavation and preparation.
Find out how significant discoveries would be communicated and how any resulting change to the original work would be agreed.
Confirm the complete scope of work
Groundwork can cover numerous stages of a project, so establish exactly which tasks the contractor will undertake. Ask where excavation or preparation begins and what condition the site will be left in when their work is complete.
Recording these boundaries can reduce misunderstandings between groundwork and any building or landscaping work that follows.
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.
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.

We had a base prepared for a shed and the difference is obvious. The ground feels firm underfoot and it’s made putting the shed up far simpler.
Everything was left in a state where we could get on with things straight away.

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.
