Groundworks in Sittingbourne Operating Across Kent
Solid foundations start with Sittingbourne groundworks experts
Ever wondered why some driveways in Sittingbourne look pristine for a decade while others start to dip and crack after just one winter? It's usually down to what's happening underneath. At Foster and Sons Landscaping, we know that groundworks are the 'unseen' hero of any project. Whether you're planning a new garden room, an extension, or a fresh driveway, the preparation is where the real work happens. As a family-run team with over 15 years of experience across Swale and Kent, we make sure that your project is built on a base that won't let you down. We're fully insured with #5 million in public liability cover, giving you that extra bit of peace of mind while our machines are on-site.
Why Choose Us?
Professional site clearance and muckaway services
Most homeowners we speak to are worried about the mess a big project creates. We get it—nobody wants a mountain of soil sitting on their front lawn for weeks. Our team handles the entire 'site strip', removing vegetation and topsoil to get things ready for the real build. Because we use our own plant machinery and experienced operators, we manage the 'muckaway' process efficiently, ensuring all waste is disposed of legally as licensed carriers. We don't just dig a hole and leave; we clear the decks so your project can start with a clean slate.

Who We Are
Expertly dug footings and foundations for every project
Are you planning a home extension or perhaps a sturdy brick wall for your garden? The footings are the most critical part of that structure. In Sittingbourne and the wider Swale area, we deal with a lot of Kent clay, which can be tricky as it expands and contracts with the weather. We're experts in digging trench-fill, strip, and raft foundations that are deep enough and strong enough to keep your building stable. We also handle 'oversite' work, creating the concrete slab that forms the base of your building. We ensure everything is level and built to last, preventing those dreaded cracks later down the line.

Drainage and soakaway solutions for Kent gardens
We've all seen those gardens in Kent that turn into a marshland every time we get a bit of rain. Poor drainage isn't just annoying; it can actually damage your home's foundations. We install professional drainage systems, including soakaways and attenuation tanks, to manage surface water runoff properly. If you're building a new driveway, we'll make sure the drainage is fully compliant with local regulations so you don't run into any legal snags. From trenching for utility pipes to installing complex drainage networks, we make sure the water goes exactly where it's supposed to.

01268 261424Essential sub-base preparation for driveways and patios
Imagine spending thousands on beautiful porcelain paving or a sleek resin driveway, only for it to start sinking within six months. That's what happens when the sub-base isn't right. We're meticulous about our ground preparation, using high-quality MOT Type 1 aggregate to create a compacted, solid layer under your finished surface. We don't cut corners on the 'subbie' because we know it's what provides the structural integrity for your vehicles or garden furniture. It's the difference between a job that looks good today and one that still looks great in 20 years.
