Groundworks & Drainage in Melksham

Local groundworks & drainage done properly

Groundworks and drainage are the foundation of every good outdoor project. Get them right and the driveway, patio or structure on top lasts for decades. We handle excavation, levelling, foundations, soakaways and surface-water drainage, and we solve problems like standing water and waterlogged lawns at the source rather than covering them over.

Whether you are in the centre of Melksham or the surrounding Wiltshire villages, we handle the whole job from the first survey to the finished result, with a clear fixed price agreed in writing.

FAQs

Groundworks & Drainage in Melksham — your questions

Why is my garden always waterlogged?

Two causes account for most of it: ground compacted so hard that water cannot get through, or no route for it to go once it does. Land drains and a soakaway deal with the second, and breaking up the compaction deals with the first.

Do you provide the drainage for a driveway?

Yes, and we would not build one without it. Getting water off a drive is part of the job, designed to SuDS rules as standard.

Do you meet building and drainage rules?

Yes. Drainage is designed to SuDS rules and building requirements, and we will tell you up front if your job needs sign-off.

Can you fix a boggy lawn?

Usually. Land drains and a soakaway give the water somewhere to go, which deals with the cause rather than the symptom.

Do you cover Melksham?

Yes. Trade Safe Paving carry out groundworks & drainage across Melksham and the surrounding Wiltshire area. Call 01225 956577 with your postcode and we will confirm and book a free, no-obligation survey.
