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 Jarrow depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Jarrow have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Jarrow we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Jarrow
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.

Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Jarrow 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.
