# T Horton & Son Ltd
T Horton & Son Ltd is a family-run haulage and groundworks specialist based in Torquay with over 60 years of trading heritage. Founded by Ronald Horton in 1964, the business has been successfully passed down to Terry Horton, who has maintained and grown the company's strong local reputation whilst expanding its reach across the region.
The company serves construction firms, property developers, landscapers and homeowners requiring professional earthmoving and transportation solutions. They specialise in delivering reliable groundworks and haulage services with a personal touch, prioritising customer satisfaction and bespoke project solutions.
What sets T Horton & Son apart is their substantial fleet of well-maintained equipment. They operate multiple excavators in sizes ranging from 1.5 ton to 6 ton, allowing them to handle projects of varying scales with precision. Their tipper lorries include two 6-wheel vehicles and a 7.5 ton tipper, plus a beaver tail hire option. Specialist attachments—including grab attachments and rock breakers—enable them to tackle diverse groundwork challenges.
The business distinguishes itself through transparent pricing with free quotations and professional advice before any work begins. Their extensive experience across footings, drainage, service digging, bulk excavation, landscaping and driveway/patio work demonstrates genuine versatility. The combination of modern, well-maintained plant, competitive rates, and decades of family expertise makes them a trusted local choice for substantial ground and haulage projects.
