Sub base first
The load bearing layer, the compaction and the fall decide how long a surface stays level.
Heinsberg and its villages
Ox Garten- und Landschaftsbau builds outdoor areas in the Heinsberg district: paved surfaces, terraces, new gardens, turf, fencing and the drainage that goes with them. One team carries out every step, from stripping the soil to the last joint.

The firm
There are many steps between the first dig and a finished surface. Here they stay together instead of being split across three companies.
Wladislaw Ox runs the business from Heinsberg. We work on driveways, yards, paths, terraces, fencing and whole gardens. What carries the surface is built first: strip the soil, build the sub base, compact it, take the water away. Only then does the stone go down.
Because the same crew does the excavation, the drainage and the laying, nobody waits for the trade before them and nobody explains afterwards why the levels do not match. That is why we do not pull the trades apart.
The load bearing layer, the compaction and the fall decide how long a surface stays level.
Channels, pipework and soakaways are planned with the surface, not after it.
Kerbs, junctions and transitions decide whether a job looks finished.

Services
Seven areas of work, described in our own words. Most jobs draw on several of them at once.

We build driveways, paths, yards and other hard outdoor surfaces. That includes the complete build up: excavation, sub base, drainage and laying the paving properly.
We build terraces to your own design in concrete slabs, ceramic slabs or natural stone. From preparing the ground to laying the surface, all of it comes from one hand.
We lay out existing gardens afresh or build complete outdoor areas. That covers preparing the ground, new paths and surfaces, and a layout shaped around what you want.
We prepare ground for a new lawn and lay turf properly. Soil stripping, topsoil, the fine grade and the preparation of the area are part of the work.
We install fencing of various kinds, above all double bar mesh fencing with matching privacy inserts. From preparation and setting the posts to the finished installation, we carry out the whole job.
We set drainage channels, lay pipework and build solutions for controlled soakaway and discharge of rainwater, for example through a soakaway crate.
We take on excavation, soil stripping, reshaping of ground levels and the building of load bearing sub bases. The layers under paving and terraces are part of that.
Send us the area and your idea for it. We will come and look, and tell you what the job needs.
How it runs
Four steps that are the same for every area, whether it is a driveway, a terrace or a whole garden.
We look at the area, measure it and settle the levels, the access and the route the rainwater takes.
You receive a list of the work: excavation, sub base, drainage, kerbs and surface, in the material you choose.
Soil stripping, load bearing layer, compaction, channels and pipes, then the laying. The steps fit together because they stay in one hand.
We clear the area, check the falls, the joints and the edges, and walk the finished job with you.

Questions
The things we are asked most often on the phone.
Paving, terraces, new gardens and redesigns, lawns and turf, fencing, drainage and earthworks. One job often covers several of them, for instance excavation, a channel and paving for a driveway.
Yes. Excavation, soil stripping, reshaping the ground and the load bearing sub base are part of our work. Building up the layers under paving and terraces belongs to it.
We build terraces in concrete slabs, ceramic slabs or natural stone. Which one makes sense depends on the area, on the ground beneath it and on what you have in mind. We settle that when we measure up.
We mainly install double bar mesh fencing with matching privacy elements. That includes the preparation, setting the posts and the complete installation through to the finished fence.
Through drainage channels, laid pipework and solutions for controlled soakaway, for example a soakaway crate. What suits is decided by the area, the fall and the ground.
Call us or write through the form on this page. We come and look at the area, measure it and put together the work it needs.
Enquiry
Describe the area briefly and what should become of it. We will call you and arrange the measuring visit.
