Costs vary with access, spoil volume and whether you need drainage or foundations. As a guide in Fulham, small clearance and levelling jobs often start from £900–£2,000. Typical groundwork packages for patios/lawns (excavation, sub-base, grading and waste removal) are commonly £2,500–£7,500. More complex projects with drainage runs, soakaways or structural bases can be £8,000–£15,000+.
Most garden groundworks in SW6 take 2–7 working days, depending on the size of the area and the amount of excavation and waste removal. Simple clearance and levelling can be completed in 1–2 days, while drainage, foundations and multiple level changes usually extend the programme to 1–2 weeks. Access restrictions, skip permits, weather and discovering buried rubble or old footings can add time.
Many garden groundworks are permitted, especially when you’re preparing ground for patios, lawns or planting without major changes to levels. However, permission or approval may be needed for significant level alterations, works affecting trees, boundary walls, or drainage connections, and if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise early, check council guidance, and help you arrange any required permissions or permits.
Yes. Our groundworks are covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship on the installed bases and foundations, including sub-base build-up, compaction and falls set out in the agreed specification. If a defect arises due to our installation, we’ll investigate and put it right. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, extreme events, or changes made after completion, but we’re always available for advice.
We prepare stable bases for porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound surfaces, turf and seeded lawns, as well as raised beds, steps and garden walls. We can also form foundations for pergolas, sheds and outdoor kitchens. During the survey we’ll discuss finishes, edge details, drainage requirements and how you use the space, then tailor excavation depths and sub-base specifications to suit your chosen design and budget.
