Landscaping & Groundworks in Stoke-on-Trent

Excavation, levelling, drainage, retaining walls and full garden transformations — with our own mini digger to make short work of the heavy lifting.

Groundworks done properly — the foundation of every good garden

Sloped, waterlogged or just unusable — most 'problem gardens' in Stoke-on-Trent are really groundworks problems. SB Constructions Ltd takes on the heavy end of landscaping: bulk excavation, site strips, garden levelling, drainage and retaining walls, using our own mini digger to do in a day what would take a week by hand.

Drainage is where we're pedantic. Standing water kills lawns, floods patios and creeps towards the house — so we build falls, soakaways and channel drainage into the plan from the start, not as an afterthought.

Whether it's a full garden transformation or the enabling work before a new patio, lawn or garden room, you get one experienced tradesman managing the whole job — and a site that's left clean, compacted and ready for whatever comes next.

Landscaping questions, answered

Can you level a sloped garden?

Yes — levelling and terracing sloped gardens is one of our most common jobs, usually with retaining walls to hold the new levels and drainage to keep them dry. Every plot is different, so we'll always look at photos or visit before quoting.

My garden floods or holds water — can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Persistent standing water normally comes down to levels and drainage, and both are fixable — falls, soakaways or channel drains depending on the cause. Send us photos of the garden when it's at its worst and we'll tell you what we'd do.

Do you do full garden transformations?

Yes — clearance, groundworks, patio, fencing, decking and turf can all be handled as one job with one point of contact, rather than juggling separate trades.

Can your digger get into a small back garden?

In most cases, yes — a mini digger fits through a standard side access or gateway. Where access is genuinely too tight we'll tell you up front and price the alternative honestly.
