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 Willenhall depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Willenhall mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Willenhall include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. 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 the West Midlands, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
