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
Check who will complete the work
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.
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.
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 relevant groundwork experience
Ask whether the groundwork contractor has recent experience with the particular type of work your project requires. Excavation, foundations, drainage, site preparation and concrete work can involve different equipment and technical considerations.
Where available, ask about comparable completed projects and how the proposed approach suits your site.

Andy and team handled the groundwork for our driveway entrance and it was done with care. They dug out, built up the base and checked levels as they went.
You could see it was being done properly, not guessed. The area was left ready for surfacing and kept accessible throughout.

The groundworks were for footings and base prep and it was carried out in a sensible way. Trenches were dug neatly, levels were checked and the area was left ready to move on.
It felt organised and steady from start to finish. We’re glad we got it done properly rather than trying to cut corners.

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.
