Planters was established in 1983, primarily as a plant hire contractor. With over 25 years' experience in the industry, the company has rapidly progressed and diversified, adding groundworks, drainage, demolition, recycling, and materials reclamation to an ever growing portfolio.

Working from our Leicester base, we have quickly grown an excellent reputation within the industry and have undertaken large contracts nationwide for major companies within the distribution, snack food, waste management and retail industries.

We employ a workforce of over 70 skilled machine operators, groundworkers, and accredited streetworks teams. Planters (Leicester) Ltd is an approved contractor for mains drainage works for both Severn Trent and Anglian Water. We currently operate materials recycling facilities in 4 sites across the midlands, producing secondary aggregate products under the terms of a strict quality protocol, which enables materials to be re-used as certified products.
