Groundwork Services in Brough

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled excavation on a tight terrace where parking is a sport. Deliveries were timed between school runs, spoil stacked on tarps and the alley stayed usable for bins.

Footings cut clean, steel tied, concrete landed on the dot. They kept a friendly word for every neighbour and left the kerb spotless. The inspector said it was textbook. We just felt relieved. Order where there was chaos the week before.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared a slab for a hot tub. Mesh on spacers, smooth finish, crisp arris so water sheds.

Looks ready for years.

We needed a slab for a heavy garden room plus a retaining nib to hold the bank. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping set shuttering true, mesh on proper chairs and finished with a tidy arris so water sheds instead of sulking along the edge.

The little wall has weep holes and a clean face ready for cladding. They staged deliveries sensibly so the street never blocked. It looks simple on the surface because the hard thinking went in underneath.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping lifted the old slab, installed a proper hardcore layer and compacted it like they meant it. The new shed base feels solid and the edges are sharp.

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

We needed a retaining wall for a raised bed. Dan laid a proper footing, set blocks plumb and added weep holes with drainage stone.

The face is crisp, the cap level and the soil sits where it should. No drama, just good workmanship.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared an old rubble patch, dug for a resin drive and left a compacted base you could park a bus on. Edges are true, channels aligned and there’s a proper fall to the gully.

The prep feels bulletproof.

Dan braced trenches, tied steel and poured to the height the brickie wanted. Inspector passed first look.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping formed a retaining wall with a clean block face ready for cladding. Weep holes and drainage stone all correct.

You can tell they care about the unseen bits.

Dan spotted a buried cable during the first scrape and stopped. He called the supplier, altered the footing plan and kept the programme intact.

Trenches were braced, concrete landed right on time and the finish came up level. He treated our place like his own, which put us at ease straight away.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping managed excavation, drainage and concrete for our kitchen extension. Spoil moved cleanly, trenches boxed smartly and steel set without fuss.

Inspector signed off, pour followed the same afternoon and the finish came up level to the millimetre. They swept the road, kept neighbours informed and left a site that looked organised, not chaotic.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled our extension groundworks in a narrow terrace where access is always touchy. They staggered deliveries, kept the alley open for bins and used boards so prams could still pass.

Trenches were neat, steel on spacers and the pour landed at the exact height for the brickies. They rinsed the pavement before leaving every afternoon. That level of consideration matters more than people think.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping formed a retaining wall for our banked lawn. Footings were square, blocks plumb, weep holes spaced right.

They backfilled with drainage stone and trimmed the edge so mowing stays simple. It looks like it has always belonged there and the soil finally stays where it should through a storm.

Dan checked for services before digging and flagged a buried cable we didn’t know about. Adjusted the footing plan calmly and kept the schedule.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared access for a new driveway. Soil out, type 1 in, levels checked and drainage set.

The front finally sheds water instead of holding puddles.
