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.
In Pudsey, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Homes in Pudsey range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across West Yorkshire, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Pudsey
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Excavation and sub-base in Pudsey: questions
Do I need planning permission in Pudsey?
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.
