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 Ross-on-Wye we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Ross-on-Wye, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Ross-on-Wye include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.
