What we dig

Nine jobs, grouped three ways. If what you need is not on the list, ring anyway — it is usually still a digger job.

Earthworks & Site Prep

Most jobs start here. Cutting a slope into a level platform, stripping topsoil off a build site, shaping a driveway that will still be there in ten years. We run our own machine, so the people reading the levels are the people on the sticks.

  • Excavation & Earthmoving

    Bulk dig, cut and fill, trenching, and muck shifted where you need it.

  • Site Leveling

    Flat, compacted and to level, checked before the machine leaves.

  • House Site & Shed Preparation

    A building platform your builder can start on the day they arrive.

  • Driveway Preparation & Construction

    Formed, drained and metalled — rural driveways that survive winter.

Rural & Agricultural

Waikato farms do not stop for contractors. We work around milking, stock movements and wet ground, and turn up with a machine sized for the paddock rather than one that will bog in it.

  • Sand Pad Installations

    Sand pads formed, placed and shaped for stock comfort and drainage.

  • Agricultural Contracting

    Races, culverts, drains, effluent work and general farm earthmoving.

  • Rural Contracting

    Lifestyle blocks and rural properties, one machine, one operator.

Digger Hire

If you have the job worked out and just need a machine and someone who can run it, hire us with the digger. No dry hire, which means no one is learning on your site.

    Wet hire across the Waikato. You direct the job, we run the machine.
