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 Yateley we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Yateley, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Yateley we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
