Professional Groundworks in Perranporth
Groundworks in Perranporth, from concrete bases and drainage to driveways and plant hire, for a town built at the edge of Penhale Sands. Blown sand needs a firmer footing than it first appears, and we design that footing into the job from the first dig.

Perranporth sits at the southern end of Perran Beach, with Penhale Sands rising behind it, a dune system protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Much of the town and the land around it is built on wind-blown sand. It drains freely, but loose sand slumps when an excavation is opened and gives a slab little support until the base beneath it is built up and compacted.
That makes the ground the first question on every Perranporth job, and the base is planned around it before anything is ordered. A short way inland, around Bolingey, Rose and Goonhavern, the sand gives way to firmer farmland, and towards Cligga Head the cliffs carry old mine workings.
We reach Perranporth along the A30, turning off through Goonhavern on the B3285. The holiday parks above the beach bring static caravan bases, hardstanding and access roads, often planned around the season, while homes in the town and in St Agnes look for driveways, patios and drainage that cope with coastal weather.
Our Groundworks and Plant Hire Services in Perranporth
Groundworks and Drainage
Bases, drainage and site work. Concrete works for caravan and lodge bases, workshops and stores, all built on compacted sub-bases. Groundworks begin with the sand, setting out fixes the levels for a row of pitches, drainage takes roof and yard water into soakaways the dunes can absorb, and tree removal and land clearance opens up scrubby ground.
Plant Hire
Hire for park and garden. Plant hire, operated or self-drive, with the dumper and wheeled digger well suited to moving sand around a site. Mini digger hire for cottage gardens in the town, and chipper hire for clearing windbreaks and hedges.
Driveways and Landscaping
Surfaces for coastal homes. Driveways as resin driveways, tarmac driveways or concrete driveways, with patios and hard landscaping for gardens near the beach. Retaining walls hold sand banks in place, and fencing marks out pitches and paddocks.
Agricultural and Equestrian Groundworks
Inland farms. Around Goonhavern and Callestick: farm track construction, horse arena construction, agricultural buildings, agricultural groundworks, farm concrete yards, and silage clamps and slurry stores.
