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 Ammanford depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Ammanford, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Ammanford we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. 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
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Laying days in Ammanford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
