Building the
North West

Specialist paving, stonemasonry and civil engineering, self delivered by a family run Salford contractor with 30 years of stone in the trade.

Established 2014 • Clifton, Salford

From a box van and hand tools to our own plant fleet.

Foster Civil Engineering & Paving started in 2014 as a father and two sons, John Foster alongside Thomas and James, with a box van and a few hand tools. Thomas and James Foster still run the company, and the standard of the stone work is still the thing they judge every job on.

Today we run our own fleet of 7.5t wagons, excavators and plant, with a directly employed workforce. That means we self deliver the civils and the specialist paving on the same site, instead of waiting on somebody else's programme.

Plant & people

Own plant, own gangs, own programme.

We do not sit waiting on hired plant or third party gangs. Our own 7.5t wagons, excavators and attachments run out of the yard with directly employed paviours, masons and groundworkers, which is why we can hold dates on live town centre sites where access windows are tight.
