What excavation and sub-base involves
Excavation and sub-base work is the groundwork under a resin surface: digging out the old drive and soft ground, removing the spoil, and building up compacted layers of crushed stone and a binder course that will carry cars without moving.
Groundwork prices in Kilwinning depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Kilwinning, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Kilwinning include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Kilwinning
Groundworks for a domestic drive do not usually need planning permission in themselves, but the finished surface follows the front-garden drainage rules, and shallow services such as water pipes and cables are located before digging.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
