Site Preparation in Kent

Ground Preparation & Excavation

Excavation is often one of the first stages of preparing a site. Existing surfaces, soil or other unsuitable material may need to be removed to create the required depth and provide space for an appropriate base beneath the finished work.

The amount of excavation required will depend on the existing site conditions and what is being constructed or installed. We approach each project individually, preparing the ground according to its intended use rather than applying the same solution to every site.

Preparing Sites for New Driveways

Correct site preparation is particularly important when installing a new driveway. The finished surface will be subjected to regular vehicle traffic, so what sits beneath tarmac, resin bound surfacing, block paving or asphalt plays an important role in the performance of the completed driveway.

We can undertake the excavation and ground preparation as part of a complete new driveway installation, allowing the project to remain with one experienced team from the initial preparation through to the finished surface.

A&A Construction & Surfacing also offers a FREE dropped kerb with every qualifying new driveway installation. Speak to our team about your proposed driveway and vehicle access for full details of the offer.

Site Preparation for Surfacing

Whether surfacing is required for a driveway, car park, forecourt, path or another external area, the condition of the underlying ground needs to be considered before the finished surface is installed. Simply laying a new surface over an unsuitable base can compromise the quality and longevity of the completed work.

As experienced surfacing contractors, we can undertake the preparation alongside the subsequent surfacing work. This gives us control over the project from the ground up and ensures the preparation is considered in relation to the surface that will eventually be installed.

Preparation for Patios, Paths & Landscaping

Site preparation is equally important for patios, paths and hard landscaping projects. Existing areas may need to be excavated and levels adjusted before an appropriate base can be prepared for paving or other finished surfaces.

Our landscaping, paving and groundwork experience allows us to undertake these stages as part of a wider outdoor improvement project. From preparing a new patio area to creating pathways or transforming the frontage of a property, we can manage the groundwork and subsequent construction together where required.

Removing Existing Surfaces

Where an existing driveway, paved area or other surface is being replaced, removal of the old material may form part of the initial preparation. The area can then be excavated and prepared appropriately for the replacement surface or proposed construction work.

Removing an existing surface also provides the opportunity to assess what lies beneath it and determine the preparation required for the new project. This is particularly valuable where an older surface has suffered from movement, settlement or deterioration.

Levels & Drainage Considerations

Levels and drainage need to be considered at the preparation stage rather than after a new surface has already been installed. The way an area falls and how surface water will behave can influence the preparation and construction of driveways, patios, paths and other external areas.

Our experience in drainage, groundworks and surfacing means these factors can be considered as part of the wider project. Where drainage work is required, we can incorporate appropriate solutions into the preparation before the finished surface is installed.

Domestic & Commercial Site Preparation

A&A Construction & Surfacing undertakes site preparation for both residential and commercial customers. Domestic work can include preparing areas for new driveways, patios, paths and other property improvements, while our commercial experience includes groundwork and preparation associated with larger surfacing projects.

Whatever the scale of the project, our focus is on providing thorough preparation appropriate to the proposed work. We can assess the existing area, discuss what needs to be achieved and provide a clear quotation for the work required.

One of the advantages of choosing A&A Construction & Surfacing is our ability to undertake the work that follows the initial site preparation. Our wider services include groundworks, drainage, concrete laying, tarmac and asphalt surfacing, resin bound surfaces, block paving, driveways, patios, paths and dropped kerbs.

Where several stages are required, we can provide a coordinated service from the initial excavation and ground preparation through to the final construction or surfacing work. This helps create continuity throughout the project and keeps responsibility for the key stages with one experienced team.
