The ground,done properly.
Family-run groundworks in Verwood, Dorset. Foundations, drainage, driveways and everything else beneath your building — since 2003.
One family, one standard.
Graham Mooney started digging for himself in 2003. Today he runs the firm with his sons, working for homeowners, builders and developers across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
Groundworks is the part of a build that gets covered up — which is exactly why it has to be right. We set out accurately, dig clean, pour once and leave the site ready for the next trade.
