Project Overview:

The project involved ground regeneration works following completion of building activities around the new extension. The area was left uneven and untidy after construction, so remedial works were undertaken to restore and enhance the surrounding landscape. A defined border was edged around the new extension to create a functional French drain, improving site drainage and concealing unsightly external services. The adjacent ground was graded and levelled to achieve a consistent, even finish that blends seamlessly with the rest of the site. Finally, the area was topsoiled and grass seeded to promote natural growth and restore a clean, green appearance consistent with existing landscaped areas. The result is a neat, well-drained, and visually appealing environment that complements the new building works.

Scope of Works:

• Conduct initial site inspection to assess post-construction ground conditions around the new extension.
• Excavate and prepare a defined border around the extension to form a French drain system.
• Supply and install suitable drainage materials, including aggregate and geotextile membrane, to ensure effective water management.
• Grade and level surrounding ground areas to create a smooth, even surface.
• Supply and spread topsoil to required depths across all prepared areas.
• Grass seed all reinstated areas to promote natural growth and match existing landscaped zones.
• Conceal exposed or unsightly external services within the new border design.
• Compact and tidy all surfaces upon completion, ensuring a clean and consistent finish.

Project Highlights:

• Successful restoration of external areas following completion of building works.
• Installation of a French drain around the new extension to improve site drainage and prevent surface water buildup.
• Effective concealment of unsightly external services within the new border design for a cleaner appearance.
• Grading and levelling of surrounding ground to achieve a smooth, even finish consistent with the wider site.
• Application of fresh topsoil and grass seed to promote natural regrowth and visual continuity.
• Enhanced site aesthetics and functionality through improved drainage and landscaping.
• Works completed efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to the operational areas of the site.

Benefits to the Client:

The ground regeneration works provided the client with a clean, level, and well-drained area that significantly improves the appearance and functionality of the site. The newly installed French drain ensures effective water management and long-term protection of the building’s foundations, while the regrading and landscaping create a professional, finished look around the new extension. By concealing external services and restoring green space, the project enhances both the visual appeal and maintenance efficiency of the site, contributing to a safer and more presentable environment for ongoing operations.
