Sloping driveways toward properties is a common problem. We can correct this issue by installing drainage or correcting their levels. We make sure that resin driveways comply with all SUDS building regulations.
We can either lay concrete or a base layer of tarmac depending on the surface that is on your driveway. This will prepare you for a resin-finish. We typically dig down 220mm, then build a solid foundation from there. We start by laying a ground stabilising membrane. This membrane is then covered in type 1 stones.

Septic Tanks
Septic tanks are often attached to residential or commercial properties that are not connected to main sewer lines. Septic tanks are designed to handle wastewater treatment, collection, and disposal instead of it being discharged to the main sewer line. To hold wastewater, septic tanks must be installed underground. A soil absorption system is used to disperse the wastewater back onto the ground.
It can sometimes be hard to predict the cost for a septic system installation. The cost of installing a septic tank can be affected by many factors, including the tank size, material, permit requirements, soil makeup, and installation fees.

Fencing
A fence is an enclosure that surrounds an area. It’s usually made from posts connected with wire, rails and netting. A fence is not built on a foundation. Most developed areas have regulations regarding fencing, both residentially and commercially. The regulations cover height, material and setback as well as aesthetic concerns.

Excavations
If you are digging near your cable, an expert in underground cable detection techniques can help you locate them with the appropriate equipment.
Before any excavation work commences, it is a good idea to get plans or other relevant information about the area’s buried services. If excavation work is required in an emergency and no plans or information are available, it should be done as though there were live buried services.
If necessary, we will provide medical facilities as well as a person qualified and trained to administer first aid. Our friendly and professional team includes excavating contractors who are happy to provide advice and listen to your development plans to prepare your site.
Soakaways
Soakaways can be either square or round excavations that are filled with rubble, or lined with brickwork or pre-cast concrete. They can be linked together to drain large areas. Geocellular or modular units can replace the backfill and supporting structure.
It is easy to integrate soakaways into a site. However, they provide very little in terms of biodiversity or amenity. They can, however, improve soil moisture and replenish groundwater, helping to mitigate low river flows.
Soakaways manage surface water at source. The soakaways are an effective method of managing surface water. They gather all water runoff and permit it to percolate in controlled ways into the soil/ground around the point where it falls.
Ponds
There are many options for creating a water body. Most involve digging a hole to the required size. The difference is in the type of impervious materials used to line that hole. These materials include concrete, semi-solid preformed pools and waterproof liners. A pond is an ideal way to include water in your garden. They should be located in full sunshine and away overhanging trees to prevent leaves from fouling the water.
A circular, square, or rectangular pond will be well-suited for formal gardens. An irregular-shaped, natural-looking pond will look better in formal gardens. In order to keep the water clear and well aerated, aim for a surface area of no more than 38 sq.ft (3.55 sq.m) where fish and water plants are required. A filtration system for small ponds is needed.
A pond is a great focal point and can add value to any property. But many people underestimate the effort involved. Soon they realize it’s more than just digging a hole and filling it with water.

Ground preparation work will require a skilled groundworker with extensive knowledge in civil engineering. The surfacing will require a specialist sports surface installer.

Drainage
There are many types of drainage that can be used in your garden. It all depends on where it is located, how high the site is, and what restrictions or flooding the area has. After mixing the soil with the proper amount of drainage material, we level the surface and make it ready to be seeded or planted out.
Our team of drainage experts and landscaping specialists have worked together over the years to create beautiful exterior designs that not only catch the eye but also provide practical plumbing benefits. For reliable service for many years, it’s essential to properly maintain your drains. After construction is complete, it can be disruptive to perform any necessary repairs.
Locating drains – First, it is essential to find out where the drains are located and – in the case of a completely new construction – how your new property would connect with the main system. A professional drainage company should be hired if you aren’t sure where the drains run. Also, they will likely advise how to install drainage to your property if your groundworks contractor is not available.
Foundations
Strip foundations are necessary for softer soils such as sand because they distribute the building’s weight over a greater area. To make sure that walls don’t sink into the ground or withstand the natural movement of earth during the changing seasons, foundations are required for every house. We will be discussing the different foundation types and how they can be dug.
Digging foundation trenches can be done more easily with machinery that can move the digger onto the site. For those who need to dig up earth manually, we can provide guidance on how to load a wagon and ensure it is safe. The foundation is the part of a building that is anchored in the soil. Foundation gives buildings structure.
Footings
Foundation construction requires the use of footings. They are used primarily for supporting the foundations and preventing them from settling. These solutions are crucial in areas where the soil is difficult. Foundations can shift quickly and provide poor support. Your groundworks team should have extensive experience dealing with footings, as they play an integral part in construction.
A foundation that is solid and supported by skilled footing contractors is one of the most critical parts of any building. A foundation that is solid and stable can make any type of construction unstable or even collapse, whether it’s a multi-bedroom home or a deck. All types of buildings, whether residential, commercial or industrial, require solid footings.
The layout and size of your footings may change depending on the soil type and foundations that you are using. Concrete footing contractors can tell you how wide, long, and deep your concrete footings should be. For the best foundation support, you will also require a professional groundworks crew to design the footings.
