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
Understand the full cost
Confirm suitable insurance cover
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.
Check the site before final sign-off
When the groundwork is complete, inspect the site with the contractor and compare the result with the agreed scope, drawings or specification where relevant. Clarify any outstanding work and confirm how excavated material and waste have been handled.
Keep the final invoice together with relevant written records or information supplied about the completed 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.
Check how underground services are identified
Excavation can encounter electricity cables, gas pipes, water supplies, drainage and telecommunications services. Ask how known or suspected underground services will be considered before digging begins and provide any information you already hold about the site.
Where locations are uncertain, appropriate checks may be required rather than relying on assumptions.
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.

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.

Andy came out first, had a proper look and talked through what needed doing before any digging started. The work itself was handled in a steady way and the ground was left properly formed for the next stage.
It gave us confidence because you could see it wasn’t guesswork. The finished surface feels firm underfoot and the shape fits the space really well. We’ve had rain since and it’s held up as expected. It’s one of those behind the scenes jobs but it matters.

You could see it was being done properly, not guessed. The area was left ready for surfacing and kept accessible throughout.
