What are groundwork services?
Groundwork services are the preparatory work completed before installing the final surface to ensure it’s smooth, safe, and has effective drainage. Groundworks can be done for a range of different property types, in preparation for all different types of surfaces including car parks, playgrounds, driveways, roads, and pavements.
Some groundwork services include:
- Site preparation and clearance – removing vegetation, debris, and existing materials
- Excavation and earth moving – digging and shaping the ground to required levels
- Foundation and sub-base construction – creating stable foundations for the surface layer
- Underground utilities installation – installing drainage systems, pipes, and cables
Benefits of hiring professionals for groundworks
Peace of mind
Employing professionals to do your groundworks gives you peace of mind, and not only in terms of the finished works. The tools and equipment required to complete groundwork can be dangerous; work can involve large pieces of moving or noisy machinery – you can rest easy when you know that your work is carried out safely by a professional.
Experienced team
Access to an experienced team is perhaps one of the best perks of bringing in professionals for your groundwork services. ‘Giving it a go’ isn’t the best option when it comes to your outdoor surfaces, where a range of disasters can happen that impact not only your property, but your neighbours too.
Save money
You perhaps wouldn’t expect that hiring professionals for groundworks could save you move, but it’s often true. Considering your time, the materials, and what would happen if something did it wrong, going DIY could be a lot more expensive.
