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 Colwyn Bay depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Colwyn Bay range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Clwyd, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
