Effective surface preparation is crucial for:
Enhanced Longevity: A stable foundation prevents cracking, sinking, and uneven surfaces.
Better Performance: Proper compaction and drainage ensure the surface remains functional under heavy use.
Professional Finish: Precise groundwork creates a smooth base, allowing the finished surface to look and perform its best.
Our Area Preparation Process
Our comprehensive preparation services include:
Excavation:
Removal of the existing substrate, such as old tarmac, concrete, or vegetation, to the required depth.
Disposal of waste materials in an environmentally responsible manner.
Sub-Base Installation:
Laying a Geotextile Membrane: A high-quality membrane is installed to prevent weed growth and stabilise the base.
MOT Type 1 Stone: Crushed stone is evenly distributed to create a robust, load-bearing sub-base.
Levelling and Compaction: Using advanced machinery, we compact the sub-base to ensure maximum stability and durability.
Edging. Kerbing Installation:
Boundary Edging Options: Choose from concrete, kerbing, block, timber, or stone edgings to define the area and provide structural integrity.
Edgings are carefully aligned and secured to create a neat and professional finish.
Drainage Solutions:
Installation of permeable membranes or drainage channels to prevent water pooling and promote efficient runoff.
Slopes and gradients are considered to ensure effective water management.
Final Preparation:
The surface is cleaned, levelled, and inspected, ready for the application of your chosen surfacing material.
