Groundwork Services in Immingham

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.

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.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled excavation on our narrow lane without blocking neighbours. Deliveries staggered, kerb rinsed, site left tidy each day.

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 undertook a full site strip on our new build plot. Topsoil lifted cleanly, levels checked with a laser and access stoned so deliveries wouldn’t churn mud.

Foundations went in straight after, concrete finished flat and covers set flush. The place finally looked like a project rather than a field.

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 renewed an old soakaway and added a channel against the house. They tied in downpipes and set covers level to the patio.

First downpour and there was no shiny lake by the doors. The hallway has finally lost that damp whiff. Simple engineering done properly.

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 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.

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

Exactly what we wanted.

We needed septic tank upgrades at the cottage. Dan organised the dig, bedding, connections and tidy reinstatement.

Clear advice, polite crew and no torn-up verge.

Dan handled a tricky trench near tree roots without damage. He braced the sides, worked steady and left everything safe overnight.

Inspector passed it first look.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt drain runs that used to back up with the first autumn leaf. Pipes bedded in sand, falls checked with a level and backfill compacted in lifts so nothing sinks next winter.

They reset covers to sit flush and relaid gravel like a carpet. Two real downpours later and water flows where it should. The hallway has lost that damp whiff. It’s not flashy work, just the kind that changes daily life.

Dan treated our job like a sequence rather than a list. He booked the inspector, timed the concrete, and made sure ducts for water and power were in before anyone shouted about them.

He checked falls with a laser and showed me in simple terms what each line meant. The pour finished true, edges crisp and access boards went back so the kids could reach the bikes. Clear head, steady hands, no flapping.
