SITE CLEARANCE AND EARTHWORKS
We start all groundworks with thorough site clearance, removing vegetation, trees, debris, and any old structures. This ensures a clean, safe workspace for the next stages. Following clearance, Lincoln Landscaping & Building performs earthworks, including levelling, grading, or excavation, preparing the area for patios, driveways, garden rooms, or new lawns. Properly prepared ground prevents uneven surfaces and supports the longevity of any landscaping or structural features.
FOUNDATION PREPARATION FOR PATHS AND STRUCTURES
Digging trenches and preparing sub-bases is essential for paths, patios, and garden building foundations. Whether it’s concrete slabs, trenches, or ground screws, we make sure the sub-base is stable and level. This stage sets the tone for the durability of all structures placed above it. Proper foundation work reduces future maintenance issues and ensures that any added features last for years.
UTILITIES AND SERVICES INSTALLATION
We handle the careful trenching required to lay pipes for water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications. Correct placement and protection of these services is critical to avoid future disruption or damage. Ensuring that the groundwork accommodates all utilities from the start helps prevent costly adjustments later and integrates smoothly with other landscaping or driveway projects.
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS FOR A HEALTHY AND USABLE GARDEN
Effective drainage is key to keeping outdoor spaces usable year-round. Lincoln Landscaping & Building installs land drains, French drains, channel drains, and soakaways depending on the soil type, water flow, and location. Proper drainage protects foundations, prevents plant root suffocation, and maintains hardscaping integrity. Well-drained gardens stay safe and functional, avoiding slippery, muddy areas. Many homeowners combine these drainage solutions with fencing services to manage both water and boundary lines efficiently.
LONG-TERM BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL GROUNDWORKS
Good groundwork isn’t just about immediate results — it protects your property and landscape for the long term. Structural stability, healthy plants, and durable hardscaping all rely on properly executed site prep, foundations, utilities, and drainage. Investing in professional groundwork reduces future maintenance, prevents water-related damage, and ensures your outdoor spaces remain functional, safe, and visually appealing for years to come.
