Groundworks & Drainage for Kirkby homes

We take on groundworks & drainage across Kirkby and the rest of Merseyside, from single properties to whole frontages. Tell us the postcode and what you have in mind, and we will come out, measure up and put a written price in front of you before anything starts.

Groundworks is the half of the job you never see and the half that decides whether the rest lasts. Levels, excavation, sub-bases, foundations and drainage all happen before a single slab goes down.

Water is the biggest one. A lawn that squelches from October to April, a patio with a permanent puddle, water running towards the house: these are drainage problems, and no amount of new turf or paving fixes them. We work out where the water is coming from and where it can go, then install land drainage, soakaways or channels to suit, alongside the excavation and level changes the design needs.

Common questions

Groundworks & Drainage in Kirkby — your questions

My lawn is waterlogged all winter. Can it be fixed?

Usually. It is normally compacted ground, a high water table or water with nowhere to go. Land drainage into a soakaway, along with decompaction, is the standard answer.

What is a soakaway?

A stone-filled or crated pit that takes surface water and lets it disperse into the ground away from the house. It needs to be the right size and in the right place to work.

Can you run cables for garden lighting?

Yes, and it is much cheaper while the ground is already open. We duct for lighting and other services during groundworks so nothing has to be lifted later.

Where does the spoil go?

We remove it. Muck-away and disposal are priced into the quotation rather than left as a surprise or piled at the side of the garden.

Do you work near drains and services?

We check for known services before excavating and work carefully around drains and manholes, keeping covers accessible in the finished levels.
