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 Weston-super-Mare we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Drives in Weston-super-Mare range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Somerset, the projects we price include 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.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Weston-super-Mare 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.
