Before your chosen surfacing blankets the ground, it's crucial to establish a solid foundation, and that's where our groundwork expertise comes into play.
Building a Solid Foundation
Prior to commencing the groundworks process, we conduct a thorough survey of the area, meticulously mapping and checking the levels using laser technology; this precision ensures accurate groundwork placement and guarantees optimal drainage and stability. Once the area is carefully surveyed, we proceed with the strategic application of MOT Type 1 sub-base material, this essential step involves evenly distributing and compacting the MOT Type 1 to establish a solid foundation. By meticulously following this process, we ensure uniformity and stability across the entire surface, setting the stage for the installation of safety surfacing. The compacted MOT Type 1 provides a robust and well-prepared substrate, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of your play area.

Expert Drainage Solutions for Play Areas
We specialise in drainage solutions, offering expert installation of French drains and soakaways. French drains are trench drains filled with gravel and a perforated pipe, redirecting groundwater to prevent waterlogging. Soakaways manage surface water runoff by allowing it to infiltrate into the ground through a pit filled with permeable materials like gravel. These solutions efficiently manage water runoff, ensuring a safe and well-maintained environment for your play area.
