Soil removal (excavation and truck required)
Soil Removal Ilam, Christchurch

I have a little hill, and I want to make it flat. The area is about 6x10m. It has three big stumps. 1. Do you need to remove the stumps before removing the soil? 2. How much does it cost with or without stump removal? I will seed the grass after the removal. (I haven't decided what I will do.) Please let me know your thoughts. 1. Quote should include with and without stump removal. I can arrange the stump removal if you cannot do. 2. Quote should include soil dumping fee. Thank you....
