Clear the site for the job that follows
Site clearance creates the starting point for a garden change, a driveway or a concrete base. The work begins by identifying what is staying, what needs removing and the levels required by the next stage. Lewis surveys the access and the working area before organising excavation and waste removal.
That keeps the clearance tied to a useful finished outcome. An overgrown garden, an old hardstanding and a cluttered side plot each need different handling. Existing walls, trees, paths and services also affect how the site is worked.
The route for machinery and materials needs checking as carefully as the area itself. In a narrow terrace garden, access restricts the approach; an open bungalow plot offers more room but can involve a larger volume of spoil. Tell Lewis what the cleared area will become so the ground is prepared for that purpose rather than left at an arbitrary level.
A concrete base starts with its intended load
A base for a garden building needs dimensions and a construction suited to the structure it will support. The size, position and finished height should be settled before excavation begins. Lewis discusses the proposed building or use and checks the site conditions.
Manufacturer information for a shed or garden structure helps establish the required footprint and tolerances. The area is excavated and prepared, with the supporting layers and edge formwork set to the plan. Concrete is placed and finished for the intended use, then given the time it needs before the next stage proceeds.
Access for delivery and working space around the base affect the method. The surrounding ground level also needs to meet the slab sensibly, especially where doors or a path will approach it. Lewis manages these details with the wider garden work so the base is ready for its purpose and fits the space around it.
Price the excavation and removal, not just the visible area
The depth of preparation and the condition of the ground affect the amount of material to move. Heavy soil, old concrete and buried rubble require different handling. Machinery access, loading space and the route off site also influence the cost.
Lewis assesses those details during the free survey and describes the clearance or slab work in the written quote. The programme includes excavation, preparation and the completion of the base or cleared area. Concrete also needs curing time before it carries its intended load.
If patios, fencing or a driveway follow, their levels and construction need planning before the groundwork is finished. That avoids having to disturb a prepared area to correct a later detail. Bring the dimensions and intended use to the survey, along with any plans for the next stage.
Lewis manages site clearance, excavation and concrete bases through one contact, leaving you with a defined starting point and no VAT added to the price.

Provide the building dimensions and any base requirements from its manufacturer. Lewis checks the position, ground and access before quoting the preparation and slab.
Can clearance be included with a garden renovation?
Clearance and excavation can be planned with the patio, lawn or other outdoor work. The levels and access are planned so the prepared site is ready for the next stage.
