Your garden, considered
Everything depends on the ground
Patios, walls, garden rooms and driveways all rely on what is underneath. Groundworks set the levels, provide firm bearing and manage water.
We excavate, remove soil, set out levels and build bases, slabs and footings to suit what will be built.
In Kingston upon Thames, side access lets us bring in machines for larger excavations.
