Groundworks in Plymouth
Good groundworks provide the stable, correctly prepared base for everything that follows. Elliott & Sons Groundworks carries out domestic and commercial groundworks across Plymouth and surrounding areas, from initial site clearance and excavation to footings, foundations, drainage trenches and concrete bases.
We can complete one specific stage for your builder or manage a wider groundworks package. Before work begins, we consider access, levels, existing services, spoil removal and the requirements of the next trade so the site is left ready to move forward.
Our groundworks services
Site Clearance and Preparation
Clear and prepare the working area before construction, landscaping or drainage work begins. This can include removing surface materials, reducing levels and creating safe access for machinery.
Excavation and Muck Away
Excavate the required area for foundations, bases, drainage or site reduction, with spoil removal arranged as part of the agreed work where required.
Footings and Foundations
Excavate and prepare footings and foundations for extensions, garages, outbuildings and other structures in line with the project requirements.
Drainage and Service Trenches
Create trenches for drainage, water, electricity and other services, with installation support available through our drainage team.
Concrete Bases and Slabs
Prepare and form concrete bases for extensions, garages, sheds, plant, outbuildings and other domestic or commercial uses.
Ground Reduction and Levelling
Reduce, reshape and level ground to create the correct working height and sub-base for the next stage of the project.
Groundworks for extensions and building projects
Extension and building projects depend on accurate excavation, suitable foundations and properly planned drainage. We can complete the groundwork stage and hand the site over ready for your builder, or discuss a wider Elliott & Sons package where additional building work is required.
Groundworks for driveways, patios and landscaping
Long-lasting driveways, patios and landscaped areas start below the finished surface. We can complete ground reduction, excavation, drainage, levelling and sub-base preparation so the area is ready for the chosen finish.
Working with builders and contractors
We also provide groundwork support to builders, landscapers and other contractors who need machinery, an operator or a reliable team for a defined stage. Contact us with the drawings, site details and expected programme so we can discuss the most suitable support.
