Groundwork Services in Hull

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 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.

Dan set levels so rain runs from the house to the new channel. Simple fix that’s made winter less stressful already.

Dan poured a small slab for a garden office, left a smooth finish and added a conduit for future power. Thought ahead, which I appreciate.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping dealt with our tight street sensibly. Deliveries staggered, cones out, neighbours warned.

They dug around an old cable with care, altered the footing shape and still hit the programme. The inspector turned up, said it was all by the book and left smiling. We felt looked after rather than in the way, which is rare on busy terraces.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared our driveway base while fixing a shallow fall at the porch. Channel drain now sits true, stone compaction feels rock solid and the apron meets the pavement smoothly.

They protected the kerb with timber and left no loose aggregate in the road. Smart, careful and efficient.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepped a resin drive base that feels rock solid. Edges true and covers sit flush.

Dan spotted a soft pocket under the old step and rebuilt it with a compacted base and a small ground beam. He explained the failure kindly without blaming anyone, then showed us how the new bit ties into the existing slab.

Door opens and closes without that scrape it had for years. He cares about the little victories that make daily life easier.

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 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 excavation for our extension. Trenches straight, chalk lines clear, concrete finished level.

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

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping formed a small retaining wall beside the drive. Blocks neat, weep holes present, face looks tidy.

Exactly what we wanted.

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.
