About Harton
We help councils and owners get the groundwork right
Harton Ltd is a family business which has been established for over thirty years. Working alongside local authorities, other civil engineers and private clients, we have built the specialist skills and knowledge required to carry out an extensive range of groundworks to a very high standard.
Our Managing Director, John Gibbons, personally oversees every project — which is why so much of our work still arrives by word of mouth.
Groundworks
Excavation, sub-base, kerbing and drainage — the part nobody sees and everything rests on.
