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 Stretford depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Stretford mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Stretford include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Stretford
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Stretford jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
