Before we even start digging, we carefully assess your site to understand the soil conditions, check for underground utilities, and plan out the best approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly do groundworks involve?
Groundworks cover all the essential preparation work needed before building or landscaping can begin. This includes clearing the site, digging trenches, laying foundations, installing drainage pipes, and levelling the ground. It is the crucial first step to ensure your project is safe and stable.

2. How long does a typical driveway installation take?
The timeline depends on the size of the driveway and the materials used. However, most standard residential driveways take between three to seven days to complete, from the initial excavation to the final finish.

3. Do I need planning permission for a new patio or driveway?
In many cases, new driveways and patios fall under “permitted development” and do not require planning permission, especially if you use materials that allow water to drain away naturally. However, we can advise you on the specific rules for your property during our initial consultation.

4. Why is proper drainage so important?
Good drainage stops water from pooling around your property, which can lead to damp problems in your home, sinking driveways, and flooded gardens. We always ensure that water is safely directed away from your buildings and outdoor living areas.
