Unlocking Cost Savings with Soil Screening

At Sibley Contractors, we know that every construction or landscaping project comes with two big challenges: managing waste and controlling costs. One of the most effective — and often overlooked — strategies to address both is soil screening.

So, what is soil screening? It’s the process of separating soil from rocks, roots, debris, and other unwanted materials. By using specialised screening equipment, we can identify which portions of the excavated or site material are reusable, saving you from hauling everything off to a landfill or disposal site.

Why does this matter for your bottom line?

Hauling and disposing of soil and waste materials is expensive. Landfill fees, transportation costs, and labor hours quickly add up, eating into your project’s budget. But when you screen the soil on-site, much of that material can often be reused right where you are — as backfill, landscaping base, or even for grading purposes.

Instead of paying to get rid of material, you’re turning it into a resource. This reduces the need to purchase and transport new soil or aggregate, cutting both material costs and delivery fees.

Additionally, soil screening is an environmentally responsible choice. By reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills and minimising the demand for new materials, your project’s environmental footprint is significantly lowered. More and more clients are looking for contractors who can deliver sustainable solutions — and soil screening is a practical, cost-saving step in that direction.
