Professional Groundworks & Hardscaping for Yeovil Properties
Every successful building project starts below ground, and Brick Builds provides comprehensive groundworks services across Somerset to give your project the solid foundation it needs. Our groundworks capabilities include excavation, strip and trench foundations, raft slabs, drainage installation, soakaways, concrete works and site clearance — whether as a standalone contract or as part of a larger build project in Yeovil.
Our hardscaping team designs and installs quality driveways, patios, garden terracing, retaining walls and external paving in Yeovil and across Somerset. We use durable, locally sourced materials wherever possible — including natural stone, limestone, block paving and Cotswold gravel — to ensure your outdoor spaces complement the character of your property and the local Somerset landscape.
Groundworks in Somerset require a thorough understanding of local geology — Somerset clay, Devon red soil and Dorset chalk each behave differently and require specific foundation approaches. Our team has extensive experience across all soil types encountered in Yeovil and the wider area, ensuring your foundations are engineered correctly from day one to avoid costly problems further down the line.

Planning & Building Regulations for Groundworks in Yeovil
Foundations and drainage in Yeovil are inspected by Building Control before anything is built on top. We excavate to the depth your soil and the engineer require, arrange those inspections, and make sure any connection to the public sewer is agreed with the water authority first.
