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 Wrexham we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Wrexham range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wrexham include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Wrexham
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Wrexham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
Excavation and sub-base in Wrexham: questions
Do I need planning permission in Wrexham?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Wrexham jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
