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.
In Eastwood, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. In and around Eastwood, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Eastwood we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive 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 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. Laying days in Eastwood are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
