Groundworks, Drainage & Site Preparation
Everything we lay is only as good as what is beneath it, which is why groundworks is a service in its own right for us. We take on excavation, muck-away, levelling, retaining structures, drainage, kerbing and foundation bases for extensions, garages, sheds and hot tubs.
Our own plant and experienced operators cover domestic gardens in Hamilton and Blantyre right through to commercial site preparation across Lanarkshire, Glasgow and central Scotland.
Why choose TK Driveways for general groundworks
One contractor, start to finish
Dig, drain, build up and surface — no coordination gaps between separate trades and no finger pointing.
Proper drainage design
Soakaways, land drains, channel drainage and connections that satisfy building control and keep water away from structures.
Ground that stays put
Compaction tested in layers, geotextile separation and geogrid on soft ground so nothing settles later.
How we install general groundworks
Survey and levels
We check existing levels, ground type and drainage runs so the design deals with water before anything is built.
Excavation and disposal
Machine dig, spoil removal and licensed tipping, plus grading and levelling to your finished design levels.
Structures and build-up
Kerbing, retaining walls, sleeper edging, concrete bases and compacted sub-base ready for the final surface.
