Groundworks & Civil Engineering Across Devon, Cornwall & the South West

We specialise in high-quality groundworks, concrete construction and drainage solutions for domestic, agricultural, commercial and civil engineering projects. Based in Devon and working across Exeter, Torbay, Teignbridge, Dartmoor, the South Hams, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, we deliver reliable work built to last.

Specialist Concrete Contractors

We handle all types of concrete work, including:

  • Reinforced concrete bases

  • Industrial and commercial concrete floors

  • Stable bases, barns, workshops & steel-frame building foundations

  • Coloured, brushed, tamped, polished and floated finishes

  • Agricultural concrete pads

  • Concrete repairs and removal

Our concrete workmanship is one of the most respected in the South West.

Precision Groundworks With CAT 273D3 Laser Levelling

We operate a CAT 273D3 with laser levelling technology, allowing us to prepare sites with perfect accuracy. This ensures:

  • Level and true concrete bases

  • Correct drainage falls

  • Faster, cleaner groundwork

  • Reduced cost and improved durability

This level of precision sets us apart from most groundworks companies in the region.

Drainage Installations & Water Management

We design and install drainage systems for all ground conditions, including:

  • Land drainage & soakaways

  • Surface water management

  • Perimeter drains

  • Stormwater systems

  • Drainage for concrete bases and steel buildings

  • Water pipe repairs and replacement

With the South West’s varied terrain and heavy rainfall, correct drainage is essential — we make sure it’s done right.

🚨 It’s been a little quiet on here lately… but for good reason! BIG things have been happening behind the scenes, and here’s a sneak peek at one of our latest arena builds 👇

📏 70x30m arena with full fencing panels
🧱 Quarried 40mm clean aggregate used for proper ...drainage
🌿 Membrane and full waxed surface going in next

At BMD Groundworks & Arenas LTD, we don’t cut corners—we build it once, and we build it RIGHT.

✔️ We NEVER use recycled hardcore for drainage—only quarried aggregate to avoid blocked pipes and extend the life of the base.
✔️ We use high-quality membranes with heat-stitched joints, preventing movement and surface rise.
✔️ Every fence post is augered, concreted, and haunched—no shortcuts, no quick fixes.
✔️ Sand matters – we only use the right % of silica and low-clay content to ensure proper drainage and fibre mix.

We’ve seen too many arenas fail because of poor materials and rushed jobs. An arena is a serious investment—don’t risk it with the cheap and cheerful route.

💡 Ask the right questions. Understand the build. Know your materials. Then choose professionals who take pride in doing it properly.

📍Based in Devon | Nationwide Service Available
