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 machinery and site access
Confirm relevant plans and specifications
Where groundwork forms part of a building or engineering project, check that the contractor has the current drawings and specifications relevant to their work. Ask which documents they will work from and how later revisions will be communicated.
Using an agreed set of information helps reduce uncertainty where dimensions, levels or construction details are important.
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.
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 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.
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 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.

The groundworks were done for drainage prep and a base area. It’s all been left ready to continue and the space feels much more usable already.
