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
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.
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.
Check who will complete the work
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.
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.
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.

We needed the garden area shaped correctly before doing anything else. The ground now feels even and properly set up and it’s made planning the next stage much easier.
It’s one of those jobs you don’t really notice once it’s done but you’d definitely notice if it wasn’t.

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.

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.

We needed base preparation for a small seating area and it’s made the garden feel more purposeful already. The ground feels stable and the shape suits the space.
It’s a proper starting point rather than a quick scrape and hope for the best.

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.
