Removing large amounts of earth

[geoff]

And end up with a big pile of earth out the front ?

Looks like a 8 wheeler grab lorry is the answer at the mo. I have been quoted 200 + VAT per load (18.5 tons).

I am pursuing another option which might turn out a bit cheaper!

Topsoil costs £100 a cu metre in Homebase. It's cheaper in bulk (not from homebase), maybe as low as £10 / cu metre for 10+ cu m (in Cambridge area)

Dirt cheap then!

Around my way (South Herts) is 190 plus VAT but of course when it's cash they always forget to add the VAT element. The most expensive part of landscaping my small yard was/is the cost of taking the soil away.
