Driveways Ilkeston
From minor remedial works to the complete excavation of an entire area, we can help. Before we start preparing a driveway for you, we first inspect the area. We check drainage and make sure that there are no problems. An issue that is common is the sloping driveway toward the property. This problem can be fixed by either fixing the levels or installing sufficient drainage. We make sure that resin driveways comply with all SUDS building regulations.
Based on the type of driveway you have, we can either put concrete or prepare a base coat of tarmac before applying a resin finish. We dig down an average of 220mm. Then, we create a solid foundation. The ground stabilising membrane is first covered with 150mm Type 1 stone. These layers are compacted and create a solid base to the driveway.

Fencing
A fence is an enclosure that surrounds an area. It’s usually made from posts connected with wire, rails and netting. A fence does not have a solid foundation throughout its length, which is what makes it different from a wall. Most developed areas have regulations regarding fencing, both residentially and commercially. The regulations cover height, material and setback as well as aesthetic concerns.
Fencing creates privacy, security, shade and changes the appearance of outdoor spaces. You can use garden fencing for many purposes, such as creating boundaries on your property, protecting your outdoor space, or even corralling livestock. The collection includes products from leading fencing suppliers as well as fencing materials suitable for commercial and residential use.
All fence panels that we make can be made to order. This is something very few companies offer. We can help you choose the right garden fence panel and offer a free survey.
Excavations
You should seek out someone with experience in underground cable detection techniques if you’re digging near your cables.
Before any excavation work commences, it is a good idea to get plans or other relevant information about the area’s buried services. If excavation is needed in an emergency, or if plans or other information cannot easily be found, the work must be performed as if there are still buried services.
If required, we will provide facilities for the welfare of our clients and a trained person who is qualified to give first aid. Our friendly and professional team includes excavating contractors who are happy to provide advice and listen to your development plans to prepare your site.
Soakaways
Soakaways, which can be square or circular in shape, are made of rubble filled or lined with brickwork and pre-cast concrete. To drain large areas of land, such as highways, they can be linked together. Geocellular or modular units may be used in place of the supporting structure.
Soakaways can be easily integrated into sites, but they offer little in the form of amenity and biodiversity value. However, they can increase soil moisture and recharge groundwater, which helps to reduce low river flows.
Soakaways can be used to manage surface water directly at the source. They also serve as an alternative to draining it via a stream/sewer system. A very effective way to deal surface water, soakaways collect all surface run-off at one point and allow it settle in a controlled fashion into the earth/ground surrounding it.
Ponds
There are many ways to create a pond. Most require digging a hole in the desired shape. What is more important is the type and amount of impervious material that is used to line the hole. There are several options: flexible waterproof liners; semi-solid preformed concrete ponds; and concrete. A pond is an ideal way to include water in your garden. For the best water quality, they should be in full sun and away from any overhanging trees.
It is possible to have a pond in a formal backyard. An irregular-shaped pool looks natural in smaller gardens. For fish and water plants, a minimum of 38 square feet (3.5 square m) is required. This will ensure that the water is kept clear and aerated. An artificial filtration system is required for smaller ponds.
A pond can enhance any property. If designed properly, it can also be a beautiful focal point. Many people underestimate the amount of work involved in creating a pond or lake. They soon realize that it is not as simple as filling a hole with water.

Drainage
There are many types of drainage that can be used in your garden. It all depends on where it is located, how high the site is, and what restrictions or flooding the area has. After mixing the soil with the proper amount of drainage material, we level the surface and make it ready to be seeded or planted out.
Our drainage engineers have worked together over many years to create stunning exterior designs. These are not only visually appealing, but also offer practical plumbing advantages. For reliable service for many years, it’s essential to properly maintain your drains. After construction is complete, it can be disruptive to perform any necessary repairs.
Locating drains – First, it is essential to find out where the drains are located and – in the case of a completely new construction – how your new property would connect with the main system. A professional drainage company should be hired if you aren’t sure where the drains run. Also, they will likely advise how to install drainage to your property if your groundworks contractor is not available.
Foundations
In softer soils like sand, strip foundations may be necessary to spread the building’s load over a larger area. Foundations are essential for houses. They provide protection against soil sinking and allow the earth to move with the seasons. This section will show you how to properly dig foundations. It will also explain the various drainage options, such as soakaways or French drains.
Digging the foundation trenches for groundwork is much easier with machinery, as you can easily get the digger on the building site. For digging and removing earth by hand, we provide information about how to load a cart to make sure you are safe. The foundation of any building is the area below the soil that is used to support the building. Foundation gives buildings structure.
Footings
Foundation construction plays an important role in footings. They are used to support foundations and keep them from sinking. These solutions are crucial in areas where the soil is difficult. Foundations can shift quickly and provide poor support. It is crucial that your groundworks team has a lot of experience in dealing with footings.
Foundations are vital components of any construction. They should be supported by the expertise of footing contractors. Any construction, from multi-bed homes to decking, can become unstable and collapse without the right foundations. All types of buildings, whether residential, commercial or industrial, require solid footings.
The size and layouts of your footings will vary depending on what soil you have and what foundations you plan to build. Concrete footing contractors can tell you how wide, long, and deep your concrete footings should be. For the best foundation support, you will also require a professional groundworks crew to design the footings.
