Welkom bij Stones & Green
Ninove ligt op de grens van twee regio’s met een heel verschillende ondergrond. Richting het Pajottenland en Brabant treft u zwaarder wiegende leembodems, terwijl de percelen richting de Denderstreek en Geraardsbergen meer variatie kennen met klei, zand en leemmengsels. Die wisselende bodemsamenstelling maakt professionele grondwerken in Ninove geen standaardwerk: het vraagt om bodemkennis, het juiste materieel en een aannemer die weet wat er onder het oppervlak zit.
Bij Stones & Green voeren wij al meer dan 25 jaar grondwerken uit in Ninove en de omliggende deelgemeenten als Denderwindeke, Meerbeke, Okegem, Appelterre-Eichem en Lieferinge. Met ons eigen machinepark en onze vaste ploeg werken wij snel, efficiënt en zonder afhankelijkheid van externe partijen.
Good earthworks are invisible but indispensable. A driveway that starts to subside after just one winter, a patio that cracks in frost, or a lawn that stands in puddles with every rain shower: in every case, the cause lies beneath the surface. The soil composition towards the Pajottenland can be particularly challenging. The heavy loam soils retain water and are more difficult to compact, requiring a tailored approach when laying foundations and drainage systems.
Stones & Green analyzes the soil before we start. We determine the correct excavation depth, plan the removal of excess soil, provide drainage where necessary, and install a stabilized, frost-free foundation. This thorough approach is the reason why our driveways, patios, and gardens look just as good after ten years as they did on day one.
Many landscape contractors rent their machines and are dependent on the schedules of external firms. At Stones & Green, we opted for our own extensive fleet of machinery right from the start. That makes a world of difference.
We have compact mini excavators for tight city gardens and hard-to-reach plots in the center of Ninove, crawler excavators for larger projects on building plots and existing properties, vibratory rollers and crawler dumpers for transport and compaction, and laser equipment for millimeter-precise leveling.
In concrete terms, this means: we decide ourselves when your project starts and runs. No waiting days, no extra costs for machine rental, no surprises.
Specific projects require specific preparation. A foundation for a paver driveway is constructed differently than the excavation for a swimming pool shell. For a driveway, we use a stabilized crushed stone foundation that effortlessly supports the weight of multiple vehicles. For a swimming pool, we excavate deeper, stabilize the construction pit, and provide proper drainage around the shell. For terraces, we combine the foundation with the drainage direction to ensure rainwater is properly drained.
Would you like to combine your earthworks with a complete total concept for your garden? Then we coordinate everything in one continuous project.
Are you building a new home in Ninove or on one of the surrounding developments? Then everything starts with preparing your plot for construction. Stones & Green handles the entire preparatory phase: removal of existing vegetation and roots, demolition of old paving or low walls, leveling the entire plot using laser equipment, installation of L-panels or retaining walls for level differences, and the proper disposal of all excavated material.
After the earthworks, your plot is ready for the next phase: foundations, paving, landscaping, or the construction of your home. And if you have the entire process, from earthworks to a finished garden, carried out by Stones & Green, you have a single point of contact and a single coordinated schedule.

Absolutely. Our fleet includes compact mini excavators specifically designed for narrow passages and hard-to-reach gardens in the city.
Het bouwrijp maken van een gemiddeld perceel duurt meestal één tot drie werkdagen, afhankelijk van de weersomstandigheden en de hoeveelheid af te voeren grond.
Ja, bij percelen met natte of zware leembodems, wat in de regio Ninove en het Pajottenland regelmatig voorkomt, integreren wij het drainagesysteem direct tijdens de graafwerken. Zo voorkomen wij wateroverlast in uw toekomstige tuin of onder uw oprit.
We advise against that. Earthworks determine the contour lines, drainage direction, and positions of utility lines. If the design changes significantly later, excavation is often required again. It is better to plan well once than to dig twice.
