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 Strabane depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Strabane, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Strabane we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Strabane
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 Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Tyrone, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
