Detailed information
Quality craftsmanship in every detail
A successful project requires thorough preparation, the right choice of materials, and skilled execution adapted to local Gothenburg conditions.
Stable ground prep tailored to site conditions
A durable paved surface depends on careful preliminary groundwork. In Gothenburg, soil conditions range widely between clay, rock, and sandy ground. Excavation, sub-base thickness, geotextile, and drainage are planned based on specific site conditions and intended traffic loads.
- ✓ Sub-base thickness and excavation adapted to soil conditions and load
- ✓ Geotextile fabric and permeable aggregate backfill where required
- ✓ Grading and drainage planned to guide surface water away from structures
Retaining walls & terracing for sloping ground
Gothenburg’s sloping landscapes often present elevation differences handled best through retaining walls and steps. We construct modular block walls with drainage backfill and correct batter to manage soil pressure and create functional terrace levels.
- ✓ Retaining block walls and terracing adapted to ground levels
- ✓ Drainage materials behind the wall to limit hydrostatic pressure
- ✓ Transparent quote detailing materials and labor costs

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions regarding process, quotes, and work in Gothenburg.
How deep does excavation need to be for paving?
How deep excavation needs to be depends on ground conditions, expected traffic load, and the surface type. Driveways require deeper excavation and heavier sub-bases than garden paths. We assess conditions on site.
Is a building permit required for a retaining wall?
Permit requirements depend on wall height, location, and municipal zoning rules for the property. Always verify prerequisites with the local municipality prior to commencing work.
How does the ROT tax deduction work for groundworks?
Standard paving of driveways, paths, and retaining walls normally does not qualify for ROT tax deductions. If the project includes other eligible works directly adjacent to the dwelling, eligibility is assessed separately under Skatteverket rules.
What type of jointing do you recommend between pavers?
We typically apply polymeric or weed-inhibiting jointing sand that resists weeds and insect burrowing while permitting natural thermal movement.
