Groundworks in Chandlers Ford
Moore & Sons carry out groundworks across Chandlers Ford as both standalone projects and as the first stage of larger landscaping and construction jobs. We've worked on enough properties in this area to know that the soil conditions vary — parts of Chandlers Ford sit on heavy clay, others on chalk subsoil, and the drainage behaviour changes significantly from one road to the next.
Sub-Base Preparation
The most common groundworks project we do in Chandlers Ford is preparing a correct sub-base for a new patio or driveway. This means excavating to the right depth, compacting the existing ground with a wacker plate, laying and compacting MOT Type 1 hardcore, and finishing with a binding layer before the surface goes down. Any quote that doesn't specify these steps in detail is cutting corners somewhere.
Drainage
Poor drainage is a recurring issue on a number of Chandlers Ford properties — particularly on the lower-lying roads. We assess drainage as part of every groundworks project and will recommend a French drain, soakaway or channel drainage where needed before anything gets built on top. Ignoring drainage and hoping for the best is how patios and driveways fail within a few years.
Concrete Foundations
We dig, shutter and pour concrete foundations for garden walls, steps and structures. Foundation size and depth is determined by the load and the soil type — we don't use a one-size approach. All our own work, not subcontracted. Free site visit across Chandlers Ford — call 07876234399.
