Groundwork Services in Winterton

Dan traced a soft patch beside the old extension to poor backfill. He dug it out, compacted Type 1 in layers and cast a small ground beam to tie it together.

He explained what he was doing without jargon and checked back after curing. The door no longer sticks when it’s wet.

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

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

They managed spoil with boards so the drive stayed clean. Seeing that level of care on groundwork gives real confidence for what comes next.

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 rebuilt a crate soakaway and tied in downpipes. Lawn stayed firm after heavy rain.

We needed a slab for a heavy garden room plus a retaining nib to hold the bank. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping set shuttering true, mesh on proper chairs and finished with a tidy arris so water sheds instead of sulking along the edge.

The little wall has weep holes and a clean face ready for cladding. They staged deliveries sensibly so the street never blocked. It looks simple on the surface because the hard thinking went in underneath.

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.

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

Feels solid now.

Dan handled a retaining wall beside a shared boundary with diplomacy. He got both sides to agree height, stepped it neatly and included weep holes so pressure doesn’t build.

He compacted backfill properly and cleaned the block faces as he went. The lawn meets the edge without a wobble now. It reads calm and sturdy, which is exactly what we needed.

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

Exactly what we wanted.

Straightforward team to deal with.

We had subsiding flags. Dan lifted them, corrected the sub base with geotextile and compacted layers.

He explained why it failed before and how they fixed it. The area feels firm underfoot and looks ready for new stone.

Dan formed a reinforced base for a heavy garden room. Type 1 compacted in layers, mesh spacers used properly and edges shuttered crisp.
