Removing vegetation, stumps, old sheds, rubble and topsoil to give a clean start.
Get a quote about site clearancePN Landscapes carries out garden and site excavation in Uckfield and East Sussex, including clearance, levelling, terracing, swimming pool digs and concrete breaking, using machines suited to restricted access and bulk digging.
Every garden we build starts with moving earth, so excavation is something we do every week. PN Landscapes runs its own machinery, from compact diggers for restricted access to larger excavators for bulk digs.
We take on excavation as a standalone job or as the first stage of a landscape, driveway or pool project, for homeowners, builders and commercial clients within about 20 miles of Uckfield.

- Buried services: we look for drains, cables and pipes and dig carefully around anything found.
- Access: gate widths, overhead lines and the route for machines and spoil.
- Ground conditions: much of the area is Wealden clay, which holds water and is heavy to move, so we plan for weather.
- Spoil: excavated soil bulks up by a quarter or more. We agree up front what stays on site and what is taken to a licensed tip.
- Neighbours and boundaries: deep excavations close to a neighbouring building can fall under the Party Wall Act.

“1st class consultations, advice and work over four weeks sometimes in atrocious weather. Paul and his two colleagues worked very hard and always treated us sensibly and courteously.”

Questions we are asked
Frequently asked questions
Can you excavate a garden with narrow access?
Usually, yes. Compact diggers are narrow enough to pass through most side gates. Where access is tighter still, we will look at the options with you on site.
What happens to the soil you dig out?
Good topsoil can be kept for lawns and beds. Surplus spoil is loaded and taken to a licensed tip, and the cost of that is itemised in the quote.
Do you take on excavation-only jobs?
Yes. Excavation is available as a standalone service as well as the first stage of our own landscape, driveway and pool projects.
