Digger Hire
Need a digger for a job in Plymouth? Elliot & Son Groundworks offers digger hire in Plymouth and surrounding areas, with flexible options depending on what you need. You can hire a digger on a self-drive basis if you’re confident operating machinery, or you can hire a digger with an experienced operator for a faster, safer, and more efficient job.
We regularly support homeowners, builders, landscapers and small contractors with digger hire for excavation, footings, drainage trenches, site clearance, and groundwork preparation. If you’re unsure what size machine you need, just tell us what the job is and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Digger Hire Services
Self-drive digger hire
Self-drive digger hire is ideal if you’ve got experience and you want to manage the job yourself. It’s commonly used for:
- Garden excavation and landscaping prep
- Small footings and trenching
- Clearing soil and rubble
- Base prep for patios and driveways
- Drainage trenches (where suitable)
We’ll confirm access requirements and make sure the machine is suitable for your site.
Digger hire with operator
If you want the job done properly without the stress, digger hire with operator is often the best value. An experienced operator can work quicker, reduce the risk of damage, and help you avoid costly mistakes — especially around services, levels, and tight access.
This option is popular for:
- Extension footings and foundations
- Drainage installation and trenching
- Site clearance and ground reduction
- Concrete base preparation
- Time-sensitive groundwork projects
