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 Blantyre depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Blantyre, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Blantyre include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Blantyre
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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lanarkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
Excavation and sub-base in Blantyre: questions
Is the price fixed for Blantyre jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in Blantyre?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
