Costs
What garden levelling costs
Levelling is priced on how much soil has to move and where it goes. Cutting into a slope and carting the spoil off site costs far more than shifting the same soil a few metres to fill a dip.

Garden Levelling and Relevelling: your questions answered
How much does it cost to level a garden in Southampton?
Small regrading jobs start around £800. A sloping garden that needs machine cut and fill with spoil taken off site more often runs between £2,200 and £5,000.
Can a sloping garden be made completely flat?
Usually you want one or two usable flat terraces rather than one flat plane, because holding a single level on a slope means far more retaining and far more cost.
Where does the soil go?
We reuse what we can on site to fill low ground, and only the surplus is carted away, which keeps the removal cost down.
Is winter a bad time for levelling?
Not at all. Levelling and digouts are ideal winter jobs, and getting them done now means turf or paving can follow as soon as spring arrives.
Will heavy machinery damage my garden?
We match the machine to the access, board out routes across lawns where needed, and make good any tracking before we leave.
