At Dig and Shift, we specialise in a wide range of groundworks services in Heswall, providing expert solutions for site preparation, excavation, and driveway construction. Our team has recently completed three major projects in Heswall, demonstrating our capability to handle everything from ecological site clearance to full-scale driveway installations.
A recent project required us to clear an overgrown site in Lower Heswall in preparation for a new build. The site was heavily covered in self-seeded Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) and brambles, which needed removal before the nesting season.
Before work began, a thorough ecological survey was carried out by Jo from Tyrer Ecological to ensure that no wildlife, such as nesting birds, great crested newts, or badgers, would be disturbed. Once the site was deemed safe for clearance, our team used the Kubota U27-4 equipped with a Cangini Flail attachment to efficiently remove the vegetation.
With the site now cleared, excavation for the footings of a new build home will commence soon – stay tuned for updates on this development!
Another successful project in Lower Heswall involved the excavation and installation of a 620 square metre driveway, requiring a significant amount of groundwork and material movement.
280 tonnes of material excavated and removed
190 tonnes of Type 1 MOT base laid for stability
3 tonnes of high-quality granite edgings installed
15 tonnes of dry mix concrete for structural integrity
40 tonnes of 20mm single-size Cotswold Buff gravel as the final surface layer
This extensive driveway project not only enhanced the property’s curb appeal but also ensured a durable and well-structured finish. Whether you require driveway installation in Heswall or digger hire for excavation, Dig and Shift is ready to assist.
In addition to our Lower Heswall projects, we recently completed another driveway installation in Heswall, featuring high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
48 tonnes of waste excavated and removed
