    Full garden transformation by hardworking, skilled and genuinely great team!

    Posted 3 days ago

    We used Reading Groundworks for a massive resign of our garden and creating a large driveway and we couldn't be happier! This was a huge job and Steve, Dil and Bailey handled it brilliantly from start to finish. The have completely transformed the space including knocking down sheds and walls, creating tiered levels, building sleeper beds, laying lawns and patio. What is outstanding is the mix of precision and sheer hard work. They are proper grafters and attention to detail is spot on! They are also genuinely kind and easy to have around. Well done Reading Groundworks - we will miss you!

    Reading Groundworks at St John's Church Kidmore End

    Posted 12 February

    Reading Groundworks helped us with upgrading the church drainage system and we have been very pleased with the work. Following architectural plans, the team methodically and respectfully dug trenches around existing graves in our churchyard, laid new pipework, connected up, and then recovered the areas leaving no visible trace of their task save the newly turned gravel paths and the small area of grass that was reseeded to leave the site neat and tidy. The Groundworks team work diligently and the employees are courteous and considerate.

Reading Groundwork’s are a small team! we aim to provide an installation service to the general public! All quotations are thorough and guarantee a fixed price with no hidden charges! We are easy to work with and adapt to our client’s needs.

We have a micro excavator Bobcat E10 to access tight gateways, it measures 730mm wide and I'm confident I could get this machine into most back gardens. This machine saves us so much time!

We also have a micro tracked skip loading dumper to cart the materials around the garden to save time and effort!

If you have a hand dig only project, I'm also happy to take these jobs on! Terrace house? No space for a skip? I have a tipper truck that I use to remove waste from your property.

My long time served in the building and groundwork trade gives me confidence to work closely with the client. I focus on one project at a time and persist until completed no matter the weather.

l work with you to create the perfect solution for your project. Whatever your intention I will always provide the best possible solution at great rates. I thrive off my referrals from my satisfied clients.
