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 Lincoln depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Lincoln, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Lincoln we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Lincoln
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
