From neglected to somewhere you actually want to spend time.

This garden had become overgrown, tired and difficult to maintain.

Our team completely transformed the space by installing a new patio, decorative stone borders, raised timber planters and freshly painted fencing to create a modern, low-maintenance outdoor area.

It's amazing what a well-designed outdoor space can do for a home.

Built to handle the toughest demands.

This recently completed concrete hardstanding at an industrial park has been designed and constructed to withstand constant use from HGVs, heavy machinery and commercial traffic.

Unlike standard surfacing, we provided work with exceptional strength, durability and longevity, making it the ideal solution for high-traffic environments where performance matters.

Whether it's loading bays, service yards, warehouse access roads or industrial estates, we deliver surfaces that are built to perform day after day.

Good groundwork is never a one-man job.

Behind every successful project is a team of skilled operators, trusted suppliers and quality machinery working together.

This road resurfacing project brought exactly that.

With support from our partners, the right equipment on site and experienced operators behind the controls, we were able to keep the project moving safely and efficiently.

From excavation and preparation through to the finished surface, teamwork is what gets the job done properly.

Because great results don't happen by accident.

From worn-out and tired... to smooth, clean and built to last.

This driveway had seen better days.

Loose stone, uneven surfaces and years of wear had left it looking tired and difficult to maintain.

Our team prepared and resurfaced the entire area with a brand-new tarmac finish, creating a durable, low-maintenance surface that completely transforms the property.

The difference speaks for itself.

✔ Smooth new tarmac finish
✔ Improved appearance
✔ Reduced maintenance
✔ Built on solid foundations

From Rough Ground to a Stunning Outdoor Space

Another project completed by the team.

Starting with a rough, uneven area, we carried out the groundwork preparation before installing a beautiful new flagged patio area to create a practical and attractive outdoor space.

The finished result provides a clean, durable surface that's perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making the most of the garden all year round.

Whether it's patios, driveways, drainage, excavation, retaining walls or full garden transformations, we have the experience and equipment to get the job done.

The finished driveway gets all the attention.

But the real work happens before a single metre of tarmac or paving is laid.

Excavation.
Drainage.
Sub-base preparation.
Levels.

Get these right and your driveway lasts for years.

Get them wrong and problems soon follow.

At Ben Thornber & Sons, we build from the ground up, properly.

Sometimes getting the machine to the job is half the challenge.

For this project, we needed a micro digger lowered approximately 10 metres down into the work area to help us construct a new access ramp.

A big thank you to Machinery Moving Services in Halifax for providing the lifting expertise to get the machine safely in and out of the site.

And thanks to our good friends at MJB Plant Hire for supplying the micro digger that helped get the job done.

No matter how awkward the access, we'll always find a solution to keep projects moving.

That's what groundwork is all about – problem solving.
