COMPREHENSIVE SITE CLEARANCE SOLUTIONS

When a site is cluttered with vegetation, debris, old foundations or unwanted material, we step in with the right machinery, the right team, and the right attitude. From initial waste removal and disposal through to excavation with diggers and excavators, the groundwork to cut trenches for drainage, and the preparation of foundations ready for the build phase, every stage is handled by us so your project starts on solid ground.

 

Our modern fleet of equipment and experienced operators mean we can adapt to the demands of each job, whether you require self-drive digger hire or a fully operated machine on-site. We’re equally comfortable preparing agricultural land, clearing a domestic plot or working on larger commercial groundwork assignments.

WASTE DISPOSAL AND EARTHWORKS

Waste disposal and earthworks form a critical part of effective site clearance. At C Foster we don’t simply remove the unwanted material; we manage it with care, abiding by environmental and safety standards for responsible disposal.

 

Meanwhile our groundwork team ensure that once clearance is done the land is levelled, excavated where required, trenches are formed for drainage, and foundations are ready for whatever comes next.

ADDRESSING YOUR SITE'S CHALLENGES

Every site presents its own challenges – access, terrain, timing, weather. We address these through clear communication with you from the outset, establishing a workable plan that minimises disruption, controls risk and keeps your project on schedule. Because we’re a local, family-run business here in East Lothian, we understand the local conditions, planning demands and the need for a trustworthy partner.

START YOUR PROJECT THE RIGHT WAY

Whether you’re looking to clear an area for a new drainage system, excavate for a house extension’s foundations, or create trenches for utilities across a commercial site, we deliver a service that is professional, efficient and bespoke. Get in touch today and let us prepare your ground so that the next phase of your build proceeds without delay.
