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.
Before quoting groundworks in Deeside we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Deeside have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Deeside include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Deeside
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
