Soil & Topsoil Removal

Soil & topsoil removal,
cleared after your landscaping job.

Leftover soil from digging a pond, laying a patio, or a bigger excavation job needs to go somewhere — and it's heavy enough that most people don't want to move it themselves. Post your soil removal job here and get priced quotes from local handlers, sized to however much you actually have.

What does soil removal cost?

Soil is priced mainly by volume and weight — a few bags from a small garden project costs much less than several tonnes from a groundwork job. If it's mixed with rubble or other construction debris, mention that too, since it affects how it needs to be processed.

Small volumes often start around £30–£60; larger loads are quoted individually based on tonnage.

Frequently asked questions

How much soil counts as a normal job to post?
Anything from a few bulk bags to several tonnes — just describe the approximate volume as accurately as you can so handlers with the right vehicle can quote.
Is contaminated soil treated differently?
Yes — if you suspect contamination (from an old shed base, oil spill, etc.), mention this clearly in your description, since it may need to be handled as hazardous waste instead.
Can soil be collected alongside rubble from the same project?
Yes — describe both in your job and handlers who cover the combination will quote for the full collection.
Do handlers reuse or recycle the soil, or is it landfilled?
Licensed handlers are required to dispose of everything responsibly, which for clean soil often means reuse elsewhere rather than landfill — you can ask a handler directly about their process before booking.
