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 Blairgowrie and Rattray we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Blairgowrie and Rattray are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Blairgowrie and Rattray we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.
