What we do
Our services
Four things, done with our own machines and our own operators. Pick the one closest to your job and we will sort the rest on site.
Driveways & carparks
Driveways, commercial carparks and industrial hardstand. Excavated, based and compacted to the right levels and falls, ready for metal, concrete or asphalt.
Driveways, carparks & hardstandEarth works
All earthworks and bulk earthworks, from detailed site preparation and landscaping to major cuts. Modern machines, experienced operators, and a job done right the first time, on schedule.
Earthworks & excavationFarm & roading
Roading, farm races and drainage, and orchard development. Built to take stock, machinery and weather, and to drain properly the day it is finished.
Rural & civil earthworksBulk cartage
Removal and delivery of metal, soil and aggregates. Quarry to worksite, worksite to cleanfill, with our own trucks and trailers.
Bulk cartage & deliveryHow it works
Operated, not rented
You do not hire a machine off us and work out the rest yourself. Our operator turns up with the right gear on our own transporter, does the job, and takes it away again. No licence, no bond, no weekend lost.

We turn up and do it
Our crew, our machines, built to level and left tidy so the next trade is not waiting on us.
Built for commercial work
Precision you can audit
We work with project managers, civil engineers, developers, orchardists and farm owners who need the levels right and the paperwork in order.
GPS machines
GPS machine control on our gear means cuts, fills and falls are built to the design, not to eye.
3D design
In-house 3D surface design. We can model your site and load it straight into the machines.
Tōtika prequalified
Health and safety prequalification under the Tōtika scheme, ready for company and council inductions.
