What we do

Full-scope site work, one crew

Every job starts the same way — we walk the site, work out what the ground's actually doing, and quote it straight.

Plot levelling

Grading a block flat and compacted so it's actually ready to build on — no guessing, checked with proper levels.

Post hole boring

Fast, precise holes for fencing, decking and retaining posts — right depth, right spacing, first time.

Driveways

Base prep and grading so your driveway drains properly and holds up — not just looks fine on the day.

Yard levelling

Turning a lumpy, drainage-nightmare backyard into flat, usable space for turf, decking or play.

Trenching

Clean, accurate trenching for stormwater, irrigation, power and plumbing runs — backfilled properly.

Turf preparation

Grading and prepping the surface underneath so new turf actually takes root and stays flat.

Footings

Excavated and prepped footings to spec, so the concrete crew can pour with confidence.

Drainage

Stormwater and subsoil drainage so water moves away from your site, not through it.

Rubbish removal

Site waste, green trim and old material cleared out so the block's ready to work on.

Concrete recycling

Old concrete broken out, removed and recycled rather than dumped.

Dirt removal

Excess spoil and fill hauled off site, so you're not left with a pile to deal with.

Landscaping

Garden beds, retaining and general landscaping to finish a site off properly.

Gravel & top soil supplied

Quality gravel and top soil delivered and spread exactly where you need it.

Turf supplied & laid

New turf supplied and laid on properly prepped ground, ready to take root.

Retaining walls

Sandstone wall specialists — built to hold, cut and set properly, not just stacked and hoped for.
