When you need reliable groundworks for your property in Dorchester and across South Dorset, Dorset Garden Services by Steve Manuel delivers professional results that stand the test of time. With nearly four decades of experience since our establishment in 1985, we understand that proper groundworks form the foundation of any successful landscaping or construction project.
Our skilled team provides a complete range of groundworks services for both residential and commercial properties throughout Dorchester, Weymouth, Wareham and the surrounding areas. Whether you're planning a new driveway, preparing for a patio installation, or require site preparation for a larger project, we have the expertise and equipment to complete the work to the highest standards.
We prepare your site properly from the start, ensuring stable foundations for whatever comes next. Our team carries out careful excavation work, taking into account drainage requirements and ground conditions specific to your property.
Effective drainage is crucial for any groundworks project. We install and repair drainage systems, including soakaways, French drains and surface water drainage, protecting your property from water damage and ensuring longevity of your paving and landscaping features.
A properly laid sub-base is essential for driveways, patios and pathways. We install compacted sub-bases using appropriate materials, creating a stable foundation that prevents subsidence and ensures your surfaces remain level for years to come.
Whether you need to level an uneven garden or create terraced areas, our experienced team can reshape your outdoor space. We work carefully to achieve the correct falls for drainage whilst creating usable, attractive areas.
Planning a summer house, garage or garden wall? We provide solid foundations that meet building requirements and ensure structural stability.
