Our Service Area. South Coast Foundation Specialists.

We're a family-run groundworks team based in Ringwood, Hampshire, with over 50 years of experience through our parent company Sunset Developments. We install precision-engineered bases for garden rooms, sheds, hot tubs, greenhouses, garages, and just about any garden structure you can think of — all backed by our 10-year guarantee. Our specialist micro-diggers mean we can access gardens that other companies simply can't reach.

Dorset

Dorset is the heart of our service area. We work across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation almost every week, where our tight-access micro-diggers are in constant demand for terraced and semi-detached gardens. Garden office bases are by far the most popular request in Bournemouth and Poole — the post-pandemic shift to home working shows no signs of slowing down, and homeowners want a proper concrete raft with a damp-proof membrane so their new office stays dry and warm all year round.

Further inland, we regularly install foundations across Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood and Broadstone, where larger plots make ground screw and raised timber frame bases a popular choice. Down in Wareham and the Purbeck area, we see strong demand for shed bases and greenhouse foundations, while up in North Dorset towns like Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum, we handle everything from garage foundations to hot tub bases on rural properties.

Hampshire

Hampshire is home to our Ringwood base, and we know the county inside out. In Southampton, we're frequently called in for garden room and garden office foundations in the city's suburban estates — particularly in areas like Bitterne, Shirley, and Bassett where demand is high but garden access can be tight. Eastleigh and Totton sit firmly in our core zone, and we see a steady mix of shed bases, hot tub foundations, and the occasional garage slab in these areas.

Winchester, being one of Hampshire's most affluent areas, brings requests for premium garden office foundations and summerhouse bases on larger properties. Fareham rounds out our eastern reach — our team heads over there regularly for both residential and light commercial groundworks. In Fordingbridge, which borders the New Forest to the west, we often install bases on rural properties with generous plots, where raised timber frames and ground screws work particularly well.

The New Forest

The New Forest National Park presents its own unique challenges — and we love them. Many properties here are in conservation areas or have Tree Preservation Orders, which means concrete-heavy approaches aren't always appropriate. That's where our ground screw foundations come into their own: no wet trades, minimal ground disturbance, and fully reversible if needed. They're particularly popular in Lyndhurst and Burley, where homeowners want a garden room or summer house without upsetting the natural character of their plot.

In Brockenhurst and Lymington, we see strong demand for garden office bases and hot tub foundations — these are areas where people invest in their outdoor living spaces and expect a premium finish. New Milton sits on the coast and brings a mix of residential shed bases and greenhouse foundations. Across the whole Forest, we're sensitive to the environment and experienced in working on uneven, root-heavy ground that would catch out less experienced groundworkers.

South Wiltshire

We extend our coverage into South Wiltshire, serving Salisbury and Amesbury along with the surrounding villages. These areas tend to have generous garden plots, which means we often install larger foundations — double garage bases, workshop slabs, and annexe foundations are all common requests. The chalk-rich soil around Salisbury Plain can behave differently to the sandy ground we work on closer to the coast, and we adjust our sub-base preparation accordingly. There's no travel surcharge for South Wiltshire — it's well within our regular operating radius from Ringwood.

Based in Ringwood. Serving the South Coast.

Whether you're in Salisbury to the north, Fareham to the east, Wareham to the west, or anywhere along the coast — we'll come to you with no hidden travel charges.
