Groundwork Contractors in Surrey and Hampshire
A family run business established in 1970, providing foundations, drainage and hard landscaping for developers, builders and private clients for over 50 years in the Farnham area.
We offer a comprehensive groundworks package for both residential and commercial projects
We work for local developers, builders and private clients, coordinating with architects and engineers to complete the project on time and in budget.
Foundations and Concrete Bases
Strip, trench fill and raft foundations, structural concrete bases for oak-framed buildings and outbuildings, and block and beam floors — a good choice on sloping sites. We work from your engineer's drawings, set out on site and take it through to slab level ready for the next stage of the build.

Drainage, Treatment Plants and Septic Tanks
If a site isn't on mains drainage we design and install foul drainage system including sewage treatment plants, septic tanks and pump stations to Environment Agency and building control standards — including older septic tanks that must be replaced under the General Binding Rules.

Retaining Walls
Structural retaining walls from garden terracing up to walls forming part of a building. We specialise in LOGIX™ insulated concrete formwork, and also build STEPOC™, reinforced hollow block and sleeper walls. Every wall gets proper drainage behind it — the main reason retaining walls fail due ground water pressure.

Landscaping
We specialise in hard landscaping often with a structural element — a drive constructed over tree roots, a terrace that needs retaining, a garden re-graded ready to start the re-landscaping . Every drive starts with a properly built sub-base and a drainage plan.

Dan and his team have done a couple of projects for us and always do an excellent job. Demolishing and removing old garage, preparing and laying foundations for a new garage including a soak-away. Prepare groundworks and lay a large driveway with cobble stones edging. They also helped with soft and hard landscaping. Great work and a pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend them.

I can highly recommend JCA having used them for many projects over the last few years. This includes driveways, car parking, garden patios, digger work, a new soak away system and garden steps. The entire team are friendly, reliable and hard working. Their work is outstanding.
