The Wider Work That Keeps Land Working

A working farm or estate is full of jobs that don't fit neatly into one trade. They're the things you put off for a season, then another, until they start costing more not to do. Fred Hill Rural & Groundworks takes those jobs on — practical, hands-on rural contracting across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.

We're a known, local outfit based in St Austell, used by farms, smallholdings, private estates and country properties for the regular and one-off jobs that keep land in good order.

What That Looks Like

• Land clearance, scrub clearance and overgrowth management
• Hedge work, hedge protection and hedgerow restoration
• Gate and gatepost installation, repair and rehanging
• Fence line maintenance and repairs
• Track and drive maintenance — potholes, drainage, surface top-ups
• Drainage clearance, ditching and culverts
• Site tidy-ups and waste removal
• Storm damage clear-up

Combined With Our Specialist Services

Rural contracting often dovetails with our other work — post and rail and stock fencing, groundworks and access tracks, and excavator hire. If a job needs a mix of trades and machines, we can normally cover it under one number rather than five.

Practical, Local, Reliable

The approach is simple — turn up, do the job properly, take pride in the work, and leave the land better than we found it. We'll give you a straight answer on whether something is worth doing now or whether it can wait.
