In North Wales, we offer a comprehensive range of groundwork services tailored to both domestic and commercial clients. These services are essential for preparing land before any construction or landscaping project begins. The main groundwork services we provide include site clearance, excavation, trenching, drainage system installation, foundation laying, and hard landscaping such as patios, driveways, and retaining walls.

For residential projects, this often includes removing old structures or vegetation, levelling uneven ground, and installing drainage systems to manage surface water. For commercial or larger-scale developments, we also carry out site investigations, dig utility trenches for electrical and water connections, and lay reinforced concrete bases suitable for heavier structures.

North Wales poses some unique challenges due to its varied terrain, clay-heavy soils in certain areas, and high rainfall levels. That’s why our team combines local experience with modern equipment to ensure every project starts with a solid foundation—literally and figuratively.

Whether you're in Wrexham, Bangor, Llandudno or the surrounding areas, our groundwork contractors are familiar with local council regulations and work to all relevant UK building codes. If you’re looking for a reliable, local team that can manage your groundwork requirements from start to finish, we’re here to help.

Excavation and site preparation are the most critical phases of any construction or landscaping project. In North Wales—where we frequently deal with sloping land, heavy rainfall, and varied soil conditions—proper site preparation ensures structural safety, drainage effectiveness, and long-term performance of buildings and surfaces.

Excavation involves removing topsoil, clay, rocks, or old foundations to reach a level, compacted base that can support footings, drainage, or utility infrastructure. Skimping on this process can result in uneven settling, cracks in foundations, water ingress, or even structural failure over time.

In areas like Snowdonia or rural parts of Flintshire and Gwynedd, ground conditions can vary drastically within short distances. That’s why we carry out soil assessments and topographic surveys before work begins. If necessary, we bring in stabilising materials or geotextiles to reinforce the ground and prevent erosion.

By investing in thorough site preparation, you reduce the risk of costly issues later on—like blocked drains, shifting buildings, or poor landscaping results. Our excavation contractors in North Wales use state-of-the-art machinery and GPS-guided equipment to ensure accuracy and minimal disruption. It's not just about digging; it's about engineering a site that stands the test of time and weather.

We install a wide range of domestic and commercial drainage systems across North Wales, all designed to tackle the region’s often wet climate. Effective drainage is essential for avoiding waterlogging, flooding, foundation damage, and long-term landscape erosion.

For residential properties, we commonly install soakaways, French drains, surface water channels, and underground pipe systems that connect to main sewers or sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). For commercial or larger-scale builds, we offer more complex solutions including attenuation tanks, interceptor traps, and land drains, all installed in line with the latest Environment Agency guidelines.

We also handle foul water drainage installation, including the laying of foul pipes, connection to septic tanks or main drains, and trenching to exact fall ratios. Our team ensures compliance with Building Regulations Part H, covering waste disposal and surface water drainage systems.

North Wales can be particularly prone to heavy downpours and ground saturation, which is why each system we design is site-specific and accounts for soil permeability, slope, water table levels, and expected flow rates. If you've experienced standing water, overflowing gutters, or erosion around your property, a properly installed drainage system can solve these issues and protect your investment long-term.

es, we specialise in full-service solutions, meaning we manage both groundwork and drainage as part of a single, integrated project. This not only streamlines the construction process but also eliminates the need for multiple contractors, which reduces risk, delays, and unnecessary costs.

When handling both services together, we begin with a thorough site survey and assessment. This allows us to design a cohesive plan that addresses both land preparation and effective water management. For example, if we’re excavating for foundations, we can simultaneously install surface water drains or soakaways before pouring concrete, saving time and resources.

Combining groundwork and drainage is particularly useful in places like North Wales, where land gradients and soil conditions can complicate site development. Our experienced team ensures that excavation work supports long-term drainage performance, avoiding issues like poor fall angles, standing water, or subsoil erosion.

Clients across the region—from homeowners in Colwyn Bay to commercial developers in Mold—choose us for our ability to deliver seamless, start-to-finish projects. Whether it’s a new build, extension, or outdoor landscaping project, we manage all aspects of groundworks and drainage with full regulatory compliance and attention to detail.

There are several signs and project types that require the expertise of a professional groundwork contractor. If you're planning any kind of building work—be it an extension, a new build, a garage, or even a large driveway—you’ll almost certainly need qualified groundworkers to prepare the site and ensure long-term stability.

In North Wales, you might also need groundworks simply because of the landscape. Sloped or uneven plots, high rainfall, or older properties with outdated drainage can create a need for excavation, levelling, or new surface water solutions. If your garden floods regularly, your driveway is cracking, or you have pooling water near the foundations, these are also signs that professional groundwork is required.

Hiring a trusted contractor like us ensures that all works comply with local authority regulations, meet planning conditions (if applicable), and use materials suited to the local environment. We also provide documentation, drawings, and warranties where needed, especially for foundation and drainage installations.

Doing groundwork without the right tools or experience can lead to expensive mistakes later on. With us, you get peace of mind that the job is being done safely, legally, and to the highest standard—anywhere in North Wales.

Hard landscaping enhances the functionality and appearance of a property by creating durable outdoor features such as driveways, patios, and retaining walls.
