Excavation and sub-base across Perth and Kinross
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.
Projects we quote in and around Perth include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in Perth and Kinross
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Perth and Kinross, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
