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 Coatbridge depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Coatbridge mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Coatbridge include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. 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 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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Coatbridge jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
