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 Crieff, 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 Crieff, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Crieff include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, 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.
