Overview
Groundworks & Drainage in Henley-on-Thames
Every driveway, patio, garden room or lawn we build in Henley-on-Thames starts the same way: with proper groundworks. Hills Driveways & Patios carries out excavation, site preparation and drainage as a standalone service too, for Henley-on-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 Henley-on-Thames Customers Say

Garden and Surface Water Drainage in Henley-on-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 Henley-on-Thames
Beyond drainage, we carry out groundworks as a standalone service for Henley-on-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 Henley-on-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 Henley-on-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.
