Excavation and sub-base across Lancashire
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.
Depth depends on the ground and the load. Clay, made ground and old garden soil need more depth than firm gravelly ground. Where services such as water pipes or cables run shallow, they are located before digging.
Across Lancashire, the projects we price 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.

Planning in Lancashire
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.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
