Developing specialist skills in resin-bound surfacing 👏

Resin installation requires precision at every stage - from preparation and mixing to application and the final finish.

That’s why members of our Small Works team recently took part in Vuba’s Resin Bound Fundamentals course, gaining technical knowledge alongside practical, hands-on experience.

Giving our lads the opportunity to develop specialist skills like this strengthens both their individual capabilities and the expertise we can offer across GDC.

A big thank you to Vuba for a great training day. We’re looking forward to putting these new skills into practice!

📣 A Small Works update from GDC…

We’re delighted to welcome KC Groundworks into the GDC Groundworks Small Works team!

With the same focus on quality workmanship, reliable service and high standards, it’s a brilliant fit and an exciting step forward for this side of the business.

Together, we’ll continue delivering a wide range of domestic groundworks across Moray, Aberdeenshire and the North East — including driveways, paths, patios, resin surfacing, landscaping, drainage, paving and more.

We now also have a dedicated page for our Small Works projects. The existing KC Groundworks page will be used to showcase everything being carried out through GDC Small Works — from jobs in progress and transformations to finished projects and team updates.

Our main GDC Groundworks page isn’t going anywhere! We’ll still be active here and continue sharing work from across the wider business, including our larger commercial projects.

However, if you’d like to keep up with all our Small Works projects specifically, please pop over to the KC Groundworks page and give it a follow. Your support as we begin this next chapter together would be hugely appreciated. ❤️

Small Works. Same GDC standard.

Following the completion of our recent garden transformation in Nairn, it was fantastic to receive this feedback from our client:

“We are delighted with our transformed town garden. The GDC Groundworks team was a pleasure to have on site and nothing was too much trouble.

Our landscaping project posed a number of operating challenges including Victorian-era walls, mature fruit trees and very narrow access. Over 120 tonnes of material was removed from site, the levelling work and finishes are perfect.

We are now all set to really enjoy our garden in the months and years ahead. We thoroughly commend GDC Groundworks. This is a highly skilled and efficient team who come up with innovative solutions for tricky problems.”

— Peter Duncan, Nairn

A brilliant result for our Small Works team, and even better to know the client is as pleased with the finished garden as we are.

From garden transformations and landscaping to driveways, patios and more - Small Works. Same GDC standard.
