Umpleby Groundworks is a Yorkshire-based contractor rooted in plant and groundworks. We help homeowners transform gardens with patios, driveways and drainage that are built properly — the same attention to formation levels, materials and detail we apply when we work alongside main contractors and developers on larger schemes.
Plant heritage
Our business grew from Umpleby Plant Hire, a Yorkshire plant business with thirty years of operating experience across earthworks, agriculture and rural infrastructure. That foundation — knowing machines, knowing the ground, knowing how to deliver — is what we bring to every job, from a new patio at home to civils packages on site.
What we believe
Groundworks is a programme business when you're on site with a main contractor — and it's about trust when we're working at your home. Developers need the ground prepared on time so the next trade can start; homeowners need clear communication, tidy working and a finish that lasts. We turn up when we say we will, we work to the drawings or agreed specification, and we leave every site ready for what comes next.
Where we work
We're based in Yorkshire and deliver across the North — Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, York and beyond. Larger contracts taken on application.
