Need Groundworks in Sheerness?
Groundworks in Sheerness Operating Across Kent
Solid foundations make better homes
Ever wondered why some driveways stay flat for decades while others start to sink after just one winter? It almost always comes down to what's happening underneath. At Foster and Sons Landscaping, we know that groundworks are the most important part of any build, even if they're the bits you'll never actually see once the project is finished. Whether you're planning a new garden office in Sheerness or a major extension, getting the footings right is non-negotiable. As a family-run business with over £5 million in public liability insurance, we've spent years ensuring that local projects in Swale start on the right footing. We treat your land with the same care we'd give our own, because a house is only as good as the ground it stands on.
Why Choose Us?
Clearing the way with muckaway services
Most projects start with a bit of a mess. Before the first brick is laid or the first paving slab goes down, you've often got a site full of old concrete, overgrown shrubs, or just plain old dirt that needs to go. That's where our site clearance and muckaway services come in. We don't just dig it up and leave it in a heap; we're licensed waste carriers, so we'll handle the entire 'site strip' and ensure everything is disposed of legally and responsibly. We use our own machinery and experienced operators to get the job done quickly, leaving you with a clean, level slate ready for the next stage of construction. Have you got a garden that looks more like a jungle? We can clear that too, making space for something beautiful.

Who We Are
Deep footings for lasting peace of mind
When it comes to foundations, there's no such thing as 'close enough.' Depending on what you're building, you might need strip foundations, trench-fills, or even a reinforced concrete raft. We've seen it all across Sheerness and the wider Kent area. We take care of all the heavy lifting, from the initial excavation to pouring the concrete in-situ. If you're worried about things like subsidence or cracked walls down the line, the secret is in the depth and the quality of the footings. We make sure everything is dug to the correct spec and compliant with local regulations, so your new build or extension isn't going anywhere. It’s about building something that lasts long enough for your grandkids to enjoy it.

Smart drainage for Sheerness gardens
Being right by the coast in Sheerness means we have to be extra careful with how we manage water. Nobody wants a garden that turns into a pond every time we get a typical British downpour. We specialise in installing proper drainage solutions, including soakaways and attenuation systems that help surface water drain away naturally into the soil. If you're planning a new driveway or patio, we'll ensure the ground preparation includes the right fall and drainage to prevent puddles and protect your property’s damp proof course. From trenching for new utilities to installing complex pipework, we make sure the 'wet stuff' is handled before it becomes a problem. Are you struggling with a waterlogged lawn? A professional soakaway might be exactly what you need.

01268 261424Expert sub-base work for perfect paving
Imagine you've just spent a fair bit on beautiful porcelain paving, only for it to start rocking and cracking six months later. That's usually because the sub-base was rushed. We take ground preparation seriously, using high-quality MOT Type 1 aggregate to create a rock-solid foundation for every driveway and patio we install. We compact it properly to ensure there's no movement, providing a stable 'oversite' for whatever finish you've chosen. Whether it's block paving, resin, or tarmac, the prep work is where the real skill lies. We’ve been fixing poorly laid paths in the Swale area for years, and the story is always the same: they skipped the sub-base. We won't let that happen to your project.
