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 Llanelli we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Llanelli mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Llanelli include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

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 Llanelli are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
