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.
Before quoting groundworks in Trowbridge we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Trowbridge mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Trowbridge we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Trowbridge
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
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. 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.
