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.
In New Milton, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. New Milton mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around New Milton include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. 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 England, not legal advice.
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 New Milton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
