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.
Groundwork prices in Burton upon Trent depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Drives in Burton upon Trent range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Burton upon Trent include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.
