Overview
Groundworks & Drainage in Kingston upon Thames
Every driveway, patio, garden room or lawn we build in Kingston upon Thames starts the same way: with proper groundworks. Hills Driveways & Patios carries out excavation, site preparation and drainage as a standalone service too, for Kingston upon Thames properties that need the ground sorted before anything else can go ahead, or where poor drainage is already causing problems.
We're Checkatrade-approved, and groundworks underpin everything else we do, so it's a service we take as seriously as the finished surface itself.

What Our Kingston upon Thames Customers Say
Garden and Surface Water Drainage in Kingston upon Thames
If water is pooling on your lawn, running towards your house, or sitting on a patio or driveway instead of draining away, the cause is usually the groundwork underneath rather than the surface itself. We assess where the water is coming from and install drainage solutions such as soakaways, drainage channels or land drains to move surface water away from the areas it's causing problems. This is garden and surface water drainage specifically, rather than internal plumbing or blocked drain repairs.
Site Preparation and Groundworks Services in Kingston upon Thames
Beyond drainage, we carry out groundworks as a standalone service for Kingston upon Thames properties, including:
- Excavation and site clearance
- Levelling uneven or sloped ground
- Compacted sub-base preparation ahead of a driveway, patio or garden room
- Land drainage for gardens with persistent waterlogging
Cost
How Much Do Groundworks Cost in Kingston upon Thames?
The cost of groundworks depends on several factors:
- The size of the area involved
- How much excavation is needed
- Ground conditions and existing drainage
- Whether the work is preparing for a further project or a standalone drainage fix
Because of this, we don't quote over the phone. We visit your Kingston upon Thames property, assess the site, and give you a written, itemised quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.
