About Grants Groundworks
A Trusted Groundworks Company Serving Plymouth
Whether you are extending a terraced house, building new homes or developing a commercial site, everything above ground relies on the work that goes in below it. Grants Groundworks Ltd has been getting that stage right for more than 25 years. Our skilled in-house team handles the full groundworks package — site preparation and excavation, foundations and piling, soil stabilisation, drainage and attenuation — through to the patios and landscaping that finish a project.
We collaborate with architects, engineers, developers and main contractors, fitting in with the wider project team to keep the programme moving. Our projects run from modest domestic jobs to major commercial and civil engineering schemes, and each one gets the same care and attention to detail.

Our Expertise
Our Groundworks Services in Plymouth
From breaking ground to the final finish, we provide the groundworks Plymouth construction projects need to start safely and stay on programme. Explore our main services below, or see everything we do on our groundworks services page.
Piling
When the ground cannot carry a structure on its own, we assess the site and recommend the right method — CFA piling for restricted or sensitive sites, or driven piling where heavier loads demand it.
Read more about piling
Soil Stabilisation
Lime and cement stabilisation treats weak, soft or wet ground where it lies, raising its load-bearing capacity and reducing settlement — often avoiding the time and cost of digging it out and replacing it.
Read more about soil stabilisation
Attenuation Tanks
Below-ground attenuation tanks hold back surface water during heavy rain and release it at a controlled rate, helping developments manage run-off without losing usable space above.
Read more about attenuation tanks
Drainage
Surface water and foul drainage, soakaways, land drainage and sustainable drainage systems — designed around your site and installed to current regulations.

Covering Plymouth & Devon
Groundworks Across Plymouth
Plymouth is a city of contrasts for groundworkers. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Stoke, Keyham and Peverell often come with sloping plots, narrow lanes and little room for plant, while newer neighbourhoods on the edge of the city, such as Sherford, and the commercial and healthcare sites around Derriford call for larger-scale earthworks, roads and drainage. On waterfront sites at Devonport, Stonehouse and Millbay, old foundations, made ground and tidal water are often close at hand.
Whatever the setting, we start by looking properly at the site and the ground, then plan access, levels and drainage around it. Our team travels to Plymouth from our base in Paignton and works right across Devon. See how each of our groundworks services in Plymouth works, or contact our team to talk through your site.
