Groundwork & Preparation in York
Expert Groundworks for York Homeowners
York is one of England's most historic cities, with an extraordinary concentration of beautiful period properties and modern family homes. A premium resin bound surface adds contemporary flair while respecting the character of this iconic city.
At Yorkshire Resin Drives, we've been installing groundwork & preparation across York and the wider North Yorkshire area for years. Every project starts with a free site visit — we come to you, assess the existing base, take accurate measurements, and discuss your colour and finish preferences before producing a fully itemised written quote.
The quality of your resin driveway is only as good as what's underneath it. Our full groundwork service covers every element of the preparation phase — from excavation and removal of the existing surface, through to laying and compacting the MOT Type 1 sub-base, installing any required drainage, and setting out edging ready for the resin overlay. We don't cut corners on groundworks, because we know that a properly prepared base is the single biggest factor in the long-term performance of the finished surface.
For York homeowners considering groundworks, we always recommend a site survey first. It costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and ensures you get a quote that accurately reflects the specific requirements of your project. Call us on 07984 469764 to arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
What's Included with Our Groundworks Service
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you excavate for a new driveway?
For a typical residential resin bound driveway, we excavate to a depth of approximately 150–200mm to accommodate the sub-base and resin layer. We'll advise the exact specification at the site survey.
Do I need to sort out drainage separately?
No — we handle all drainage as part of the groundwork phase. If you need a new drainage channel, soakaway, or connection to an existing drain, we'll design and install it as part of the project.
How long do groundworks take?
For a typical domestic driveway, groundworks usually take 1–2 days, followed by the resin installation on day 2 or 3. Larger projects with complex drainage may require additional time.
