Landscaping Groundworks Across Herefordshire

The groundworks stage of landscaping rarely gets noticed, but it’s what makes the finished result last – a beautifully laid lawn or path over poorly prepared ground will show problems within a season or two. BJB Contractors Ltd handles that stage across Hereford, Herefordshire and Shropshire, preparing bases and ground for gardens, grounds and commercial landscaping projects with 20 years of hands-on experience in getting the groundwork right. We’ve prepared ground for everything from a modest garden makeover to landscaped grounds around a new commercial development, and in every case the same rule applies – the finished look only lasts if what’s underneath has been done properly first.

Where We Fit In

We take care of site clearance, levelling, drainage and base preparation for lawns, planting areas, paths and hardstanding, so whatever gets planted or laid afterwards sits on solid, well-prepared ground rather than ground that’s simply been raked over. Our NRSWA-accredited, fully insured team applies the same standard to commercial and domestic projects alike, and we’re happy to work alongside a landscaper or garden designer to make sure the groundwork matches their plans. That includes making sure topsoil is the right depth and quality for what’s being planted, and that hardstanding areas are built to take the footfall or vehicle use they’ll actually see, not just look right on the day it’s finished.

 

 Solid Ground, Better Results

Skip the groundworks stage and problems tend to surface later – literally, in the form of subsidence, poor drainage or an uneven finish. We make sure drainage and levels are sorted before any planting or surfacing begins, saving you from having to dig it all back up again. We’re happy to work to a landscape designer’s plan, or simply advise on what groundworks a garden or grounds project will need if you haven’t got that far yet, so you know what to budget for. We’re happy to phase larger landscaping groundworks projects if that suits your budget or timeline better than doing everything at once, and we’ll always explain the reasoning behind our recommended approach to preparation and drainage.
