Groundwork Services in Brigg

Dan planned ducts for water, power and data to a future office. Trenches straight, sand bed even and reinstatement level enough that you’d never know.

He sent a little route plan annotated in plain English. That sort of foresight saves you digging twice. Footings for the store went in the same week and passed inspection first go.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepped our patio area. Geotextile down, compacted layers and a laser check at the end.

It’s set up for the paving lads perfectly.

Dan measured falls, marked chalk lines and talked me through the footing depth the inspector wanted. Concrete arrived on time, pour was smooth and the finish looks dead level.

Dan formed a slab for a garden room with mesh on spacers and a smooth finish that feels like glass without being slippery. He left a duct for data because he said everyone asks later.

The pad sits fractionally proud so rain sheds, and the arris is crisp. He followed up with photos and a simple care note. It’s the invisible planning that impressed me most.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping turned a chaotic patch into a site that made sense within a day. Topsoil out, levels checked, stone down and compacted until the machine barely shivered.

They fenced safely, stacked spoil neatly and kept the radio at a civil volume. The footings were braced, steel sat where it should and concrete landed to the millimetre. Our neighbour commented on how clean the road looked each evening. That care behind the scenes is why the rest of the build has started calmly.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared our old footings, set proper trenches and left the lane spotless. The inspector signed off first visit.

Quiet crew, steady progress and a site that finally looks under control.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed a soakaway and linked the downpipes properly. No more boggy lawn after storms.

Neighbours commented how clean the pavement was each evening.

Dan corrected a sunken sub base under wobbly slabs. Geotextile down, Type 1 compacted in lifts and a final blind to bring everything true.

He explained why it failed before and how to avoid a repeat. It feels solid now and the paving lads were delighted with the prep. It’s money well spent.

Footings cut neatly, sides braced, spoil stacked on boards so the lawn stayed decent. Rebar tied in a tidy grid and the pour finished with a smooth top ready for blockwork.

The inspector barely paused. Proper groundwork that sets the build off on the right foot.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared a concrete base for a large shed and a small retaining wall to hold the bank. They compacted Type 1 carefully, set forms true and finished the slab smooth.

The wall has weep holes and neat caps. Everything reads straight and feels built to last.

Dan planned ducts for services before the slab. Sand bed, warning tape, tidy reinstatement.

Saved future digging.

Dan set a small retaining nib with weep holes and drainage stone. Bank sits steady at last.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping set a channel at the porch and aligned covers properly. Threshold stays dry and the front reads finished, not patched.

Dan corrected a shallow fall by the porch and set a slim channel. Threshold finally stays dry.

Dan cut a clean trench for power and water, sand bed down and warning tape in. Reinstatement so tidy you’d never know.

Helpful sketch for the file too.
