Our team at Milton Keynes concrete bases installs concrete bases around the available garden access and the requirements of the building going on top.
Being a local concrete base contractor, we regularly carry out groundwork across Milton Keynes and the surrounding residential areas. Stony Stratford has areas of newer residential development where garden access and recently landscaped ground need to be considered before a base is installed.
Many of the properties we work around Stony Stratford are modern homes where the garden has been landscaped as part of a newer development. The garden may look finished, but newly laid ground and landscaping can still need proper preparation before a concrete base is installed.
We look at the proposed position of the base, the condition of the ground and the route available from the property to the work area before the installation is organised.
New-build gardens can also have limited entry points. A side gate may be narrow or the route into the rear garden may not allow equipment and materials to be brought straight through. These details are considered before excavation starts rather than dealt with once the job is underway.

The preparation beneath a concrete base is one of the main parts of the installation. If the ground below the base is not prepared properly, movement can develop later and the finished structure can be affected.
This is particularly relevant where a garden has recently been landscaped. We remove unsuitable material from the base area and prepare the ground before the concrete is placed.
A suitable MOT Type 1 sub-base is used where required and compacted to create the prepared platform beneath the concrete. The amount of preparation depends on the ground encountered and what the intended building requires.
The aim is not to treat every garden in exactly the same way. The installation is planned around the actual ground and access conditions at the property.
We keep the installation straightforward and organise the work around the property, the available access and the dimensions of the proposed base.
We discuss the project, look at the proposed position and consider how the work area can be reached. Any narrow gates, restricted routes or recently landscaped sections are identified before the installation is planned.
The footprint is marked out and the area excavated to remove unsuitable surface material and create the space required for the prepared base and concrete.
Where required, MOT Type 1 is installed and compacted beneath the base. The preparation is carried out according to the ground found on site and the requirements of the intended structure.
Timber formwork is positioned to the required dimensions. Reinforcement is added where the project requires it before the concrete is placed.
Fresh concrete is brought to the prepared area, placed and levelled to produce the finished base. The installation is checked before the work is completed.
If you are planning a new outdoor building and need a concrete base installed in Stony Stratford, get in touch with the dimensions and details of the project.
Let us know where the base is going, what access is available and whether the garden has recently been landscaped. These details help us understand how the installation needs to be organised before work starts.
From preparing the ground through to placing and finishing the concrete, the job is planned around the actual property rather than using the same approach for every garden.
