Groundwork Services in Cleethorpes

Dan kept notes tidy, sent progress photos and left the site secure each evening. He ran a simple water test to prove the new fall before signing off.

It’s rare to feel informed rather than managed on jobs like this. The ground is ready, the base feels solid and we’re excited rather than anxious about the next stage.

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

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a collapsed drain run, set new covers level and reinstated the gravel path so it looks planned, not patched. They managed spoil on tarps and left the neighbour’s border untouched.

First heavy rain since and the gully finally draws as it should. Worth every penny for the lack of drama.

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.

Old clay pipe collapsed. Dan replaced it with new runs and proper falls, then reinstated the path neatly.

No trip points, no patchwork look.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping formed a garden room base with mesh on spacers and a crisp edge. Looks spot on.

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.

Old drains were a mess. They traced routes, replaced crushed pipe and backfilled in layers.

Drive sits firm now and the gully actually catches water.

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

We needed groundworks on a tight terrace street. Dan staggered deliveries, kept access for bins and protected the pavement.

Footings dug, rebar tied and concrete in without blocking anyone. He even washed the kerb before leaving. Proper respect for people and place, which goes a long way.

Our garden used to squelch after every shower. The crew traced the problem to a failed soakaway and rebuilt it with crates wrapped in geotextile, gravel packed evenly all round.

They tied in the downpipes, relaid turf in snug seams and left the path level with no trip points. Two storms later the grass feels springy, not spongey, and the threshold stays dry. Quiet competence, tidy habits and a result you can feel underfoot every time it rains. Couldn’t ask for more.

Dan explained falls with string, then regraded to a discreet soakaway. First storm since and the patio stayed dry.

Simple logic done well.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping dug for a new resin drive while repairing a fractured clay pipe they found on day one. Both jobs ran together without stepping on each other.

Pipe bedded in sand, warning tape laid, covers set flush. The base looks bulletproof and the front now sheds water to the channel as designed. The inspector liked what he saw.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt drain runs that had been bodged years ago. They traced routes, replaced pipe with proper falls and bedded everything in sand.

Backfill went in lifts so we didn’t end up with sinkholes. They relaid gravel like a carpet and set covers square. Two storms later and water finally behaves. The relief of not mopping thresholds after every shower is hard to describe.

Dan found why our old step kept shifting. Poor backfill, soft pocket underneath.

He dug it out, laid geotextile, compacted Type 1 and cast a small ground beam to tie the corner together. He explained it all in plain English so we could follow along. Door opens without scraping for the first time in years. He popped back after curing to check levels and promised to tweak if needed. Didn’t need a thing. That kind of care builds trust.
