Groundworks in Heswall: Site Clearances, Driveway Installations & Digger Hire

Dig and Shift in Heswall

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.

Professional Site Clearance in Lower Heswall

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!

Project Breakdown:

  • 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
