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 relevant plans and specifications
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 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.
Confirm the expected timescale
Ask for an estimated start date and an indication of how long the groundwork is expected to take. Weather, ground conditions, access, material deliveries and unexpected obstructions can influence the programme.
Find out how significant delays will be communicated, particularly where other contractors are scheduled to begin work afterwards.
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.
Ask about drainage work
If drainage forms part of the groundwork, ask for a clear explanation of what is being installed, altered or connected. Confirm which pipes, channels, chambers or other components are included where relevant and who is responsible for any later connections.
Written clarification is particularly useful where groundwork forms only one stage of a larger project.

The ground now feels shaped properly and ready for the next stage. It’s made the garden feel more usable already and it’s taken away a lot of uncertainty.

Andrew explained the order of work before they started which helped us understand what was happening. They excavated, cleared the old material and formed a solid base with careful compaction.
Levels across the area are consistent and it feels properly prepared rather than rushed. The site was left safe and workable which made organising the next phase much simpler.

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.

Andy and team talked us through the plan then got stuck in. They dug out to the right depth and left a clean base behind.
It’s made the next stage much easier to organise.

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.

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.

Andy and team handled the groundworks for our front space and kept access clear as much as possible. The area now feels ready for surfacing and the groundwork looks well set out.
It’s been a good experience overall.

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.
