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 Bloxwich depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Bloxwich have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Bloxwich include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for England, not legal advice.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Excavation and sub-base in Bloxwich: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Bloxwich?
We cover WS3, WV12 and WS2 and the surrounding districts, including Walsall and Willenhall.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Bloxwich?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Bloxwich?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
