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 Bracknell depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Drives in Bracknell range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bracknell include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Bracknell
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Bracknell are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
