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.
Before quoting groundworks in Auchterarder we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Auchterarder, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Auchterarder we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.
