At MAK D, we know that the success of any build starts below the surface. Whether it’s a new patio, driveway, extension or commercial development, solid groundwork sets the stage for everything that follows. Based in Buxton, we deliver reliable, high-quality groundwork services across Derbyshire, handling everything from initial excavation to drainage, sub-bases and foundations.
We work with homeowners, builders, developers and commercial clients to provide tailored solutions that keep projects on track from day one.
It’s easy to get excited about what goes on top, but without properly prepared ground beneath it, you’re heading for future problems. Cracked paving, water pooling, or unstable walls all point to one thing…poor prep!
Our groundworks team ensures your site is fully prepared and structurally sound before anything is built. That includes everything from site clearance and muckaway to trenching, membrane installation, compacted sub-bases and concrete pours. We’ve worked across a wide range of sites and soil types throughout the Derbyshire landscape, always bringing that local knowledge to every job.
If you’re planning a driveway, extension, garden room or retaining wall, we’ll make sure your project starts on the right foot.
For homeowners, we offer a full domestic groundwork service to support all types of garden and property improvement projects. That includes preparation for driveways, patios, garages and extensions, with proper fall levels, drainage systems and compaction to prevent movement or water issues later.
We know how important your home is and we treat your space with care and respect. Whether we’re digging footings, creating a sub-base, or clearing an old garden structure, we’ll work efficiently and cleanly ensuring we’re always keeping you informed at every step.
As experienced groundwork contractors, we also support local businesses, landlords, schools and developers with dependable services for small-to-medium commercial projects.
Our team can provide bulk excavation, concrete bases, site prep for new builds, drainage runs, ducting and access paths, all to spec and in line with your timeline. We understand the need for minimal disruption, tight deadlines and clear communication when working on commercial or public sites.
Whether it’s a small industrial yard, a school path installation, or groundwork for modular units, we’ll get the job done safely and to a high standard.
Good groundworks aren’t just about digging they’re about planning, precision and execution. We take care of the things most people never see, but that make a huge difference in how long your project lasts.
That includes trench and soakaway installation, trench blocks, pipe laying, manhole construction, foundation digging and pouring of footings or concrete slabs. We’ll advise on fall levels, ground conditions, and the most suitable approach based on the scale and use of your structure.
Whether you need a small shed base or structural foundations for a new build, we’ll make sure everything is done properly, with safety and durability in mind.
There’s no shortage of companies offering groundworks in Buxton, but MAK D stands out for a few key reasons – clear communication, reliable workmanship and a commitment to doing things right the first time.
We don’t cut corners, we don’t leave jobs half-finished and we won’t disappear once the digger’s off site. Whether we’re helping a family prepare their garden for a patio or working on a larger commercial development, we bring the same care, focus and pride in our work.
