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 Leominster depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Leominster are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Leominster 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.
