"After continuing blocked drains and a cctv survey we were advised that our underground foul drainage pipe had collapsed due to ground movement. Grace Groundworks rectified our problem quickly without causing any disruption and no mess. Our block paved driveway was put back exactly how it was too. Couldn’t recommend enough."

Liam and his team fixed the drainage issues at my house promptly and efficiently. We had a failing soakaway which caused my garden to basically turn into a small pond due to recent heavy downpours. They installed a new modern soakaway crating system. Which works perfectly. They were very tidy clean polite and very presentable. I will definitely be using Grace Groundworks & construction Ltd in the future for any Groundworks projects.

I can’t recommend Grace Groundworks & Construction Ltd enough. They recently redesigned and installed a new surface water Drainage System with large soakaway. They also repaired over 300m2 of concrete reinforced bays at our stables where we had drainage issues and the concrete had broken up overtime. Liam and his team exceeded expectations and delivered everything on time and within budget. Great lads will definitely be using them for future projects.

I had noticed a dip forming in my block paving around the manhole on my driveway. Eventually, it got so bad that my drains started to back up. I contacted three companies, and Grace Groundworks was the quickest to respond. Liam came out the very next day for a site visit, and he took the time to explain that the drain had collapsed, which was causing the issues. He provided a reasonable quote and detailed the work required, which included digging up the area, fixing the drain, and reinstating the block paving. Liam and his team were punctual, professional, and left my property clean and tidy

Liam and his crew did a perfect job on our driveway which included some work on our sewer system which was causing us problems. Afterwards a problem with our rainwater downpipe and soakaway was highlighted, so we had no hesitation in asking Liam to rectify the problem which he did to the same high standards of the company's previous work on our drive.

Absolutely delighted with the professional way in which Liam and his team carried out foundation works for our new garage block and additional block paving on our driveway. Liam’s work was of high quality, and even with a large amount of spoil to remove, there was little disruption. The site was always left tidy which further highlighted his professionalism. Work was completed to schedule and within budget. Thank you Liam best wishes roger patey

I chose Grace Groundworks & Construction to replace a failing soakaway in my back garden. The service I received from making an initial enquiry right through to having the work done was timely, polite and extremely professional and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to have similar work done.

Overall the work carried out by Liam and Shaun was very good, aligned with what was agreed and they were able to complete the job within one day. With the rain we have had since the extra drainage put in seems to be doing its job. Shaun is a very experienced digger driver which was needed in our case due to the different levels involved and tight spaces. They kept site as clean as possible, including cleaning up when completing the job, but obviously difficult with the amount of mud and rain around at the time.

I had been noticing my block paving driveway dipping around the manhole cover for quite some time. As it got worse, I started experiencing drainage issues, with the drains backing up. After contacting three companies, only two turned up, and Grace Groundworks was the first to respond. Liam came the very next day to assess the situation and provided a clear explanation of the problem—a collapsed drain that needed urgent repair. His quote was not only the quickest but also very reasonable. Liam and his team worked efficiently to dig up the area, repair the drain, and rebuild the brick chamber. They also restored the block paving, leaving the driveway level and tidy. The whole process was smooth, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Grace Groundworks for their professionalism and excellent work.

Before you hire a landscaper

Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
