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.
