Groundwork & Site Preparation
Solid landscaping starts beneath the surface. JH Landscapes carries out groundwork and site preparation for domestic and commercial customers, getting the ground right so driveways, patios and other landscaping have a stable base to be built on.
- Excavation and site clearance
- Levelling and ground preparation
- Sub-base supply and compaction
- Preparation for driveways, patios and lawns
- Domestic and commercial customers
The Foundation of Good Landscaping
Most landscaping only lasts if the ground beneath it is prepared properly. We carry out excavation, levelling and sub-base preparation so that whatever is built on top — a driveway, patio or lawn — has a firm, stable base to sit on.
Preparation for Driveways, Patios and More
Our groundwork supports the rest of our landscaping work. From clearing and levelling an area to compacting a sub-base, we prepare sites so the finished driveway, patio or artificial grass has the best chance of staying level and durable.
Domestic and Commercial Sites
We carry out groundwork for both domestic and commercial customers within our service area. We work cleanly and efficiently, preparing the ground ready for the next stage of your project.

Transformed my back garden
“Transformed my back garden from just a simple square piece of grass to a beautiful curved patio built in flower bed and fresh turf! John and Luke listened to our vision and brought it to life. Can’t thank him and his team enough.”

Excavation of lots of concrete and new block paved drive done right by someone I trust
“Had my new drive done by JH Landscapes Leeds and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. This isn't the first time I've used them either—they've done other work for me before, and that's exactly why I went back. I know it's always going to be done properly and to a high standard. Everything was straightforward from start to finish. Turned up when they said they would, got on with the job, and left everything clean and tidy. The finish on the drive looks great and has made a massive difference to the front of the house. More importantly, I've got peace of mind knowing it's been done right. Would definitely recommend—reliable, trustworthy, and take real pride in their work.”
