Our Services
Foundation Digouts
We specialise in precise foundation digouts using our Bobcat and SharpGrade laser levelling system. This top-tier technology ensures accurate preparation for concrete and other foundations, saving time and reducing costly errors. A well-prepared base is the key to a strong, long-lasting structure — and we make sure it’s done right.
Driveways
From classic shingle chip drives to professionally finished asphalt or concrete, we create durable and tidy driveways that enhance access and appearance. Whether you’re after something practical or polished, we deliver smooth, solid results that last.
Augering
Our augering service offers fast, accurate, and efficient hole drilling solutions for both residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re installing fence posts, piling foundations, retaining walls, or planting trees, we use high-performance auger equipment to deliver clean, consistent holes with minimal site disturbance.
Site Clearing
We take on everything from small residential site clearing to large-scale site prep on difficult terrain & residential demolition. Our equipment and know-how allow us to remove vegetation, debris, and surface obstructions swiftly, creating safe, workable ground for new development or planting.
Lawn Prep & Seeding
Creating a healthy, lush lawn starts with proper groundwork. We prepare and level your site, remove debris, and seed with care to encourage even growth. Whether it’s a lifestyle block or a residential section, we set your lawn up for success.

Our property maintenance service covers all the essential tasks that keep rural and lifestyle blocks in top condition. From regular water race clearing and tree removal to site scrapes, track repairs, and general tidy-ups, we handle the jobs that help your land function smoothly and look its best. Whether it’s a one-off job or ongoing upkeep, we bring the tools and experience to get it sorted efficiently.
