Groundwork Services in Louth

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping prepared the patio sub base so the slabs won’t sink again. Edges are crisp and the whacker work was thorough.

Looks ready for years.

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

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

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 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 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 the driveway sub base while fixing a collapsed drain run. Both tasks dovetailed neatly, with trenches backfilled in lifts and a solid stone layer ready for surfacing.

Channel positions make sense, covers sit square and the front finally sheds water the right way. Exactly what we needed.

Dan planned ducts for services before the slab. Sand bed, warning tape, tidy reinstatement.

Saved future digging.

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 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 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.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a crate soakaway and tied in downpipes. Lawn stayed firm after heavy rain.

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.
