The right kit, the right people
Our excavators run from 1.5 to 13 tonnes, with a tree shear, chain trencher, auger and post rammer. Our operators are fully qualified, and our rates are kept as competitive as we can make them.
From cleared site to finished build
No two jobs are alike. Whether you need tree management, groundworks or a treatment plant installed, we plan the work around your requirements.
Because Risdon Agri sits within the group, a cleared site can move straight into groundworks, construction and renovation without a change of contractor.

What people ask
Based in Faversham, working across Kent.
How much does agricultural contracting cost?
It depends on the job, the ground and the access, so there isn't a fixed price list. Tell us what you need doing and we'll come back with a quote.
Can I hire a machine with a driver?
Yes. All our plant is hired with our own operators, from a single day to a full contract.
Do you work on farms and orchards?
Yes. Water pipes, drainage, farm tracks, orchard windbreaks and tree clearance are a big part of our agricultural work.
Can you clear a site and then build on it?
Yes. The same group does the site clearance, the groundworks and the build, so there is no change of contractor between them.
Do you install sewage treatment plants?
Yes. We dig out for the tank, lower it into place with our own excavator and lay the pipework to it.
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
We are based at Abbots Hill near Faversham and work across Kent. If you are not sure we cover you, ask and we will tell you straight.
