Groundworks in Birchington

Groundworks and site preparation for Birchington — foundations, drainage, resin driveways and excavation.

Groundworks for Birchington homes

With their open plots around Minnis Bay and Acol, Birchington properties often have real scope for driveways, garden studios and extensions — and all of it starts with the groundworks. Palms Build.Co handles clearance, excavation, foundations, drainage and hard surfacing across CT7.

What our Birchington groundworks covers

Site clearance & excavation

Clearing, digging and muck-away to prepare the ground for a new build, extension, driveway or garden.

Foundations & footings

Trench-fill and strip foundations, footings and bases for extensions, garden rooms and walls — set out and dug to spec.

Drainage & soakaways

Surface-water and foul drainage, soakaways and land drains to keep your property dry and compliant.

Concrete bases & slabs

Oversite concrete, reinforced slabs and bases for garages, garden studios and outbuildings.

Resin driveways & block paving

Resin-bound driveways, block paving and tarmac laid on a properly compacted sub-base so they last.

Paths, steps & retaining walls

Pathways, steps and retaining walls with the excavation, drainage and foundations done right underneath.
