Delivering housing, commercial and civils groundworks across Newton Abbot, Bovey Tracey and surrounding areas
JMJ Groundworks works with developers, housebuilders and main contractors across Newton Abbot, Bovey Tracey and the surrounding towns and villages, including Kingsteignton, Chudleigh and the Teign Valley.
This is an area we know well. We’ve delivered the full groundworks package for a 24-home development at Indio Fields in Bovey Tracey, along with other commercial and external works schemes nearby.
Local ground conditions can be challenging, with heavy clay, high groundwater and wet winters, so we plan drainage, excavations and access carefully from the outset to keep your build on programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Newton Abbot Groundworks Projects
Do you carry out groundworks in Bovey Tracey as well as Newton Abbot?
Yes. We regularly work across Newton Abbot, Bovey Tracey, Kingsteignton, Chudleigh and the Teign Valley. We delivered the full groundworks package at Indio Fields, a 24-home development in Bovey Tracey, so we know the area and its ground conditions well.
What groundworks services do you offer?
We deliver complete groundworks packages or individual elements, including excavation, earthworks, footings and foundations, drainage, retaining walls, roads and sewers, service infrastructure and external works. Whatever stage your project is at, we can provide the team and plant to support it.
Can you handle drainage on wet or clay sites?
Yes. Much of the ground around Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey is heavy clay, and high groundwater is common, especially in winter. We plan drainage, attenuation and excavations around those conditions from the start, and we've delivered groundworks successfully through wet winters on sites alongside lakes and protected trees.
Do you work for housebuilders and developers?
Yes. Residential developments make up a large part of our work, from multi-plot housing schemes to affordable and modular housing. We work closely with site managers to integrate our groundworks into the wider build programme.
Do you take on smaller commercial projects?
Yes. Alongside larger developments, we deliver smaller commercial and external works packages. That includes the playground and outdoor learning transformation at Hennock Primary School, near Bovey Tracey.
Do you provide your own plant?
Yes. We run our own excavators, from 3 to 13 tonnes, along with dumpers. That means we're not reliant on hire availability, and the right equipment is on site when it's needed.
Can you work around trees and protected areas?
Yes. We've managed tree protection requirements on developments in the area, carefully planning plant movements, excavations and access around root protection zones without holding up the build.
