An experienced operator and a well-kept mini digger, on your site when you need them. Footings, drainage, garden clearance and groundworks for homeowners and builders across Ilkley and the surrounding area.
What we do
Trenches dug to depth and line for extensions, garages, garden rooms and walls.
Trenching for drains, soakaways, water, power and cable runs.
Stumps, rubble, old patios and overgrowth cleared ready for the next stage.
Excavation and levelling to formation, ready for sub-base.
Shaping and levelling gardens, ponds, terracing and bulk soil moving.
Rubble and soil taken away in our own skips, so there's no separate skip firm to book.

FAQs
It means you hire the machine with an experienced operator. You don't need to drive the digger, insure it or move it. We turn up, do the digging and leave the site tidy.
Our half-day rate is [£ PRICE] and a full day is [£ PRICE], both including the operator. Access, ground conditions and whether spoil needs taking away can affect the total, so we confirm a price before we book you in.
Our machine fits through a gap of around [e.g. 1m]. Send us a photo of the access route and we'll confirm before booking.
Yes. We have our own rubble and soil skips, so we dig the job and take the waste away ourselves. Let us know roughly how much spoil to expect when you ask for a quote.
That depends on the project. Many garden jobs don't need it, but extensions usually need building regulations approval and sometimes planning permission. Ilkley falls under City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. We're happy to work from approved drawings.
We're based in Ilkley and work within roughly 10 miles, including Keighley, Bingley, Otley, Skipton, Guiseley, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Addingham, Ben Rhydding, Menston and Silsden.
