Groundwork Services in Crowle

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

Looks ready for years.

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

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping organised the concrete so the lorry arrived between school runs. Footings were boxed smartly, steel tied clean and there were no muddy trails across the road.

The pour finished dead flat and the team left the place looking like a drawing, not a building site. You feel at ease when people work like that.

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 rebuilt a failed soakaway with crates wrapped tight and gravel packed evenly. Turf relaid in snug seams.

Lawn now feels firm after rain.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled excavation for our extension. Trenches straight, chalk lines clear, concrete finished level.

Inspector in and out in minutes. Stress off our shoulders.

Dan corrected a sunken sub base under wobbly flags. Geotextile, Type 1 in layers, final blind to bring it true.

Feels solid now.

Dan planned ducts for water, power and data to a future office so we won’t dig twice. Trenches ran straight, sand bed even, warning tape above, reinstatement level with the lawn.

He sketched routes on a little plan for our folder. The shed base went in the same week, finished smooth without being slippery. It’s the thoughtful touches that make a build easier later. No fuss, no drama, just steady work that earns confidence.

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 cast a slab for a hot tub, adding mesh with proper cover and a tidy edge so rain doesn’t sit. They set the pad a hair above surrounding stone and left a conduit for electrics.

The finish is smooth without being slippery. It’s exactly the kind of base you stop noticing as soon as the kit lands.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed a crate soakaway sized to the roof area, wrapped in geotextile with a neat gravel surround. They tied every downpipe cleanly and set new covers level with the patio.

First storm since and the garden held shape instead of turning to porridge. We slept better that night than we have in months.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared a driveway base while installing a new channel at the garage. Stone is compacted to a drum, edges true and the apron lines up with the pavement.

They protected the kerb during tipper runs and swept before knocking off. The whole front now looks ready for surfacing rather than vaguely dug up. That alone has lifted the house.
