The most common problem is the slope of the driveway towards the property. We would either correct the levels or install adequate drainage. We make sure that resin driveways comply with all SUDS building regulations.
Depending on the surface of your driveway, we can lay concrete or a base course tarmac to prepare for a resin coating. In an average job, we will dig down 220mm. From there, we build a solid base. We start with a ground stabilizing membrane that is covered in 150mm type 1 stone. This compacted layer of stone creates a firm base for the driveway.

Soakaways
Soakaways can be either square or round excavations that are filled with rubble, or lined with brickwork or pre-cast concrete. To drain large areas, these can be connected together. Geocellular or modular units can replace the backfill and supporting structure.
Although they are very easy to incorporate into a site’s landscape, they provide little in the way biodiversity or amenity value. They should be entirely underground and should not have any water on the surface. However, they can increase soil moisture and recharge groundwater, which helps to reduce low river flows.
Soakaways can be used to manage surface water directly at the source. They also serve as an alternative to draining it via a stream/sewer system. Soakaways are a highly efficient way to deal with surface water. They collect all run-off from the surface and allow it to percolate into the ground or earth around it.
Ponds
There are many methods of creating a lake. Most require the excavation of a hole with the desired shape. However, the impervious material used for the liner will vary. These materials include concrete, semi-solid preformed pools and waterproof liners. A pond is an ideal way to include water in your garden. You should place them in full sunlight, away from trees that shade the water.
It is possible to have a pond in a formal backyard. 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. Artificial filtration systems are required for smaller ponds.

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.

You should seek the assistance of a drainage company if you have any questions about drain location. If your groundworks contractor does not offer drainage services, they can help you determine how to best install drainage.
Foundations
In softer soils like sand, strip foundations may be necessary to spread the building’s load over a larger 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.

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
The foundation construction process is not complete without the footings. They are used to support foundations and keep them from sinking. These solutions are essential in areas with difficult soil, which can cause foundations to shift rapidly or not provide reliable support for the building. It is crucial that your groundworks team has a lot of experience in dealing with footings.
The foundation is the most crucial part of any construction. Experienced footing contractors can help you build it. Foundations are essential for any construction.
