General Groundwork

General groundwork covers a wide range of different services. For example, you might want to remove raised beds im your garden. That not only involves removing any stonework but also excavating the soil and flattening the area. Creating the foundation to lay a new path is also considered groundwork.

As with any installation, the final result is only as good as the base on which it is constructed. Perhaps you’re building an extension or a shed and want a solid foundation to work from. For example, if you’re planning to install a shed over a grassed area, it will need to be measured accurately and the turf and topsoil removed. The space then needs to be cleared and then tamped down. Once this is achieved, you will need to lay a sub-based which consists of hardcore and which is then compacted. A layer of sand is added which is also tamped down.

All this needs to be as level and as firm as possible so that you can then add mortar which is used to create a solid and waterproof base for your shed.

Another area where you might need our Edinburgh and Lothian’s groundworks services is if you want to install a water feature. This involves digging out an area of the garden and then lining it so that it is perfectly waterproof.

Maybe you want to turn an old brick shed into a workspace or office. The groundwork here may involve digging a trench to extend an electrical and even telephone point to the smaller building.

Drainage Installation and Repair

One of the most common reasons for groundworks is to repair drainage pipes or install new ones.

This may be needed if, for example, you build an extension. This can be quite a large undertaking and not only requires heavy digging equipment but a knowledge of the underlying drain network.

Projects Where You Need Effective Groundworks

You may need our specialist groundworks team for a variety of projects. If you’re planning to replace or put in a new driveway or paving, the groundworks lay the platform for a successful installation.

You might want to change the entire look of your garden and build in features like raised beds, all of which requires careful planning and the right equipment.

Of course, it might be something as simple as digging new holes for fence posts or raising a certain area of your garden to improve drainage. Whatever your needs, our team have the expertise and skill you are looking for.
