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 Rottingdean depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Rottingdean are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across East Sussex, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Rottingdean jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
