Groundworks and site preparation for Margate — foundations, drainage, resin driveways and excavation done properly.

Groundworks for Margate homes

Every good build starts below ground. Palms Build.Co handles the groundworks that make a Margate project succeed — site clearance, excavation, foundations, drainage and driveways — across the whole of CT9. Get the groundwork right and everything above it lasts.

What our Margate 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.

Your local Margate team

Why choose Palms Build.Co in Margate

Being based in Margate, we know the local ground conditions — the made-up ground near the coast, the clay, the older drainage runs — and plan for them. We do the groundwork ourselves as part of the wider build, so foundations, drainage and hard surfaces are all handled by one accountable team.

Also covering Cliftonville, Garlinge and Westbrook.
