    Excellent in every way!

    Posted 14 October

    Steve and his guys did our driveway with permeable paving, adding an additional space and ‘landscaping’ different levels. It looks amazing! We completely trusted their advice and Steve was great at answering our questions and guiding us re colours and designs. He was readily available in the build up to the work, and having them do it was stress free and easy. We would recommend Reading Groundworks without reservation. We are thrilled with their work!

    Highly recommended

    Posted 06 October

    From the moment I messaged Steve he has continued to provide prompt responses and kept me informed. The team- Steve, Dil and Bailey were polite and helpful when they were fixing my fence posts and landscaping my garden. They tidied my garden and swept the driveway leaving everything neat and tidy. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I am so pleased with the results and quality job they’ve done.

    Replacement patio and side path

    Posted 26 September

    Steve and his team have completed an excellent job of replacing our patio and side path. They were punctual and tidy and provided good quality work. They were hard working, polite and paid attention to detail, also suggesting where improvements may be made. We would recommend them and will use them in future.

    Groundworks repairs

    Posted 03 July

    The company arrived on time for quoting and carrying out works at times arranged and convenient to both parties. They were thorough in measuring and understanding our requirements, matching slabs where required, digging out and replacing slabs and grouting and levelling surfaces. They were neat and tidy. The price was reasonable and the job carried out to a high standard.

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.
