Measure & Set Levels
We establish the working area, finished levels, access and surface-water route.
GROUNDWORKS & SURFACE DRAINAGE
THE RIGHT BASE
FOR LASTING WORK.
Excavation, disposal, sub-base preparation, kerbing, levels and surface channel drainage for driveways, access areas and external transformations.

PREPARATION THAT
MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
Strong, tidy external work starts with the correct formation. GMGB prepares areas for tarmac, resin, paving and other hard surfaces, considering load, levels, access and surface-water management.
Our drainage work is limited to practical surface drainage associated with surfacing and groundworks, such as channel drains—not underground sewer or major drainage infrastructure.

OUR PROCESS
READY FOR THE
FINISHED SURFACE.
Excavate
Unsuitable material and existing surfaces are removed to the required formation.
Sub-base & Edges
The foundation is installed and compacted in layers, with kerbs or borders added.
Drainage & Finish
Surface channels and falls are completed before the chosen final surface.

GROUNDWORKS FAQS.
Can you prepare for a new driveway?
Yes. We can excavate, dispose of material, install and compact the sub-base, set edging and prepare for the chosen surface.
What drainage do you install?
We install surface drainage connected with our surfacing work, including channel drains and suitable falls. We do not advertise underground drainage or sewer infrastructure.
Can you transform a garden area?
Yes. Suitable projects can combine clearance, level changes, hard landscaping, paths, access areas and new finished surfaces.
Can groundworks be included with surfacing?
Yes. A complete package keeps preparation, edges, drainage and finished surfacing under one coordinated team.
PLANNING AN EXTERNAL PROJECT?
Send the location, approximate size and photographs. We will advise whether GMGB can provide the preparation and finish required.
