Ground preparation
The part nobody sees, and everything else depends on
Levels, sub-base and drainage decide whether a garden works. Get them wrong and you get puddles, sinking slabs and lawns that sit wet all winter. This is the stage we refuse to rush.
What we can do
Excavation and muck away
Digging out to the depth the finished build-up needs, with spoil loaded and removed from site.
Levelling and re-grading
Re-shaping sloping or uneven plots, including terracing and retaining where the change in level needs holding.
Sub-bases
Type 1 MOT laid and compacted in layers to the right depth for foot traffic or vehicle loads.
Drainage
Soakaways, channel drains, land drains and falls set to move water away from the property.
