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 Llandudno we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Llandudno, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Gwynedd, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Llandudno
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
