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 Leamington Spa depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Leamington Spa mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Leamington Spa we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Weather and working days
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Warwickshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
