Earthworks

Earthworks, earthmoving and landscaping

Woollard started out shaping golf courses across the UK. Thirty years on, that same team moves earth for reservoirs, roadways, sports grounds and coastal defence.

What we do

  • Roadways, driveways and avenues
  • Reservoirs, lakes, coastal defence and drainage
  • Polo fields, sports fields, sand schools and golf courses
  • Site preparation and site clearance
  • Excavation and disposal, including contaminated land
  • Restoration and remediation

Roadways

Using our extensive earthworks experience, we can design, plan and create your roadway, driveway or avenue — taking your vision and delivering the result you want, on time and on budget.

Reservoirs, lakes, coastal defence and drainage

Based on the South Coast, Woollard is experienced in coastal defence, flood defence and drainage. Whether you already know what needs doing or need us to assess and remedy a problem, we can address water ingress or create reservoirs and lakes that work and look right.

Reservoir schemes are a specialism in their own right — see our dedicated page on reservoir construction for process, lining options and the consents involved.

Sports and polo fields, sand schools and golf courses

We have created a wide range of sporting surfaces: polo fields, sports pitches, golf courses and sand schools. We can help design one that makes the best use of the space available as well as looking good — or, if you already have plans drawn up, make them a reality.

Site preparation and site clearance

Woollard can manage and execute a project from start to finish. Equally, if you are a project manager who needs site preparation or clearance before construction can begin, we can cater for whatever the job requires, including full land clearance.

Excavation and disposal

Our team are experts in earthworks, site clearance and excavation. We can also arrange the disposal of earth and other raw materials, including contaminated material, with the paperwork and compliance handled properly.

Restoration and remediation

We restore and improve land of any type or size. Our team is experienced in land remediation, including the removal of contaminated soil and materials, protecting land from contaminated areas, and treating land where necessary.

Working at scale

Our operations are undertaken on a local and national scale, with plant maintained in-house. Formation levels are held tightly and the cut-and-fill balance kept honest — which matters as much on a sports field as it does on a reservoir embankment.
