01 / A BETTER ARRIVAL
DRIVEWAYS
IN BARNSLEY.
A driveway needs more than a good-looking surface. SledgeHammer Demolition & Groundworks brings together excavation, ground preparation, drainage and surfacing for homes across Barnsley, South Yorkshire and surrounding areas. We discuss the layout, access and finish before agreeing the work.
Built from the base up.
Removing the old surface, excavating and preparing the base are key parts of the job. We plan the groundwork around the existing levels, site access and the surface being installed.
Edges, drainage and access.
Borders, adjoining paths and drainage help the whole space work together. We consider these details alongside the driveway, with the agreed work set out in your quote.

GOOD DRIVEWAYS.
PROPER GROUNDWORK.
The finished surface is only part of the job. Your site’s layout, drainage and base preparation shape the work from the start.
Start with the space.
We discuss how you use the area, vehicle access, adjoining paths and the finish you want. Photos and a site visit, where needed, help us plan around your property.
Get the levels and drainage right.
Ground levels and water routes need consideration before surfacing. We work through the proposed drainage and any existing chambers or services that affect the layout.
Know what the quote includes.
We’ll agree the excavation, base preparation, surface, edging and any material removal or adjoining paving included in the job.
