Farm work by someone who understands a working farm

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.

Pole Shed Digouts

Pole holes and shed pads dug to your supplier's spec.

  • Pole holes bored or dug to the depth and diameter on your plan.
  • Shed pad cut, levelled and compacted ready for the kitset.
  • Spoil pushed up or carted, your call.

Sand Pad Installations

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

  • Base excavated and shaped so the pad drains rather than ponds.
  • Sand placed to depth and levelled across the full pad.
  • Surrounds and access formed at the same time.
