We know the terrain, ground conditions and planning landscape across Northumberland — from single-day residential jobs to multi-week agricultural and commercial contracts.
We bring the right machine, the right operator and the right attitude to every job — 360 excavators, dumpers and more, with experienced operators as standard.
No subcontractors. No surprises. Just straightforward groundwork done properly — we visit your site before pricing, so there are no hidden extras.

Includes
Need a machine without the hassle of finding an operator? We offer plant hire with experienced operators across Northumberland. Our fleet includes 360 excavators, dumpers and more — available for daily, weekly or contract hire.
Poor drainage causes costly long-term damage. We install French drains, soakaways, culverts and land drainage systems that keep water where it should be — away from your property and infrastructure.
A solid driveway or hardstanding starts below the surface. We carry out full sub-base preparation, edging, grading and compaction to give your surfacing contractor a stable, level base to work from.
Got an overgrown site, old outbuilding or existing structure that needs to go? We clear and prepare sites for new development, removing vegetation, rubble, existing concrete and spoil efficiently and responsibly.
Working across Northumberland's farms and rural estates, we understand the specific demands of agricultural groundwork. From track and access road construction to yard drainage and slurry pit surrounds — we're a contractor farmers trust.

We install timber and post-and-rail fencing for farm boundaries, equestrian facilities and land management, along with retaining walls and sleeper structures for sloped or problematic ground.
From poured concrete bases for agricultural buildings and garages to concrete aprons, slabs and reinforced pads — we supply and lay concrete as part of wider groundwork packages or as standalone projects.
