From garden redesigns to new access routes, our team delivers groundwork that sets your project up properly from day one. We regularly work near Eastfields station and around Figges Marsh, where access and ground levels can vary street by street. Whether you’re preparing for paving, turf, a patio or an extension base, we take care of the messy stages with clear communication. Expect safe excavation, clean edges and a site left organised at the end of each day.
Eastfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, and each comes with different groundwork challenges. Older plots often need careful levelling, drainage upgrades and protection around existing services. Modern builds may require precise falls, engineered sub-bases and neat concrete work to match contemporary finishes. As experienced groundwork contractors Eastfields area homeowners rely on, we tailor methods to the property and the end use, not a one-size plan.
We start with a site visit, measure levels, check access, and agree a scope that covers excavation depths, spoil removal and reinstatement. You’ll get a written plan, realistic timescales and transparent options for materials and drainage solutions. Our crews work to current best practice, keeping pathways safe and disruption controlled. Local clients choose us because we turn up when we say we will, and we build groundworks that last.
Working across the London Borough of Merton means planning for tight access, controlled parking and busy residential streets, especially around SW16 and CR4. Some roads near Lavender Park and Mitcham have limited space for skips and deliveries, so we schedule drops and removals carefully. Ground conditions can change between made ground and heavier soils, which affects excavation support and drainage design. As groundwork contractors in London Borough of Merton, we adapt methods to keep sites safe, compliant and efficient.

Costs vary with access, depth of dig, disposal volumes and whether you need drainage or concrete. As a guide, small site clearance and levelling may start around £800–£2,000. Driveway or patio sub-base excavation with waste removal is often £2,000–£6,000. Foundations, drainage runs and reinforced concrete can take projects to £5,000–£15,000+. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Many domestic groundwork jobs take 2–7 working days, such as excavation, levelling and forming a sub-base for paving or turf. More involved work—foundations, drainage alterations, retaining walls or access roads—often runs 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on machine access, weather, spoil removal logistics, and whether unexpected obstructions appear (old concrete, tree roots or services). We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Most garden groundworks are permitted, but some elements can trigger rules—particularly new or altered driveways, changes to levels near boundaries, and drainage that affects the public sewer. If you’re using impermeable surfacing at the front, you may need a compliant permeable solution or drainage to a soakaway. We’ll flag likely permissions, check constraints, and can work with your designer or architect to keep everything compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed groundworks, including sub-bases, concrete work, drainage installations and retaining wall construction (subject to normal use and maintenance). The warranty covers defects arising from installation, such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction or incorrect falls. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before the job begins.
We can build sub-bases and foundations to suit block paving, porcelain paving, natural stone, resin-bound surfacing, or turf and planting schemes. Drainage options include channel drains, soakaways, permeable sub-bases and correctly graded falls away from the property. For retaining walls, popular choices include concrete block systems, brick to match the house, or sleeper-style solutions where suitable. We help you choose based on budget, finish and long-term performance.
