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 Walton-on-Thames we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Walton-on-Thames are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Walton-on-Thames include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.
