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 Newtown we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Newtown, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Powys, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Newtown
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Mid Wales is wet and hilly, so falls, drainage and access for materials are planned at survey. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Newtown jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
