Dig, load, cart, dispose. Our machines, our trucks.
Excavation is half of every concreting job we do, and we also do it on its own — for builders who need a site cut, for homeowners pulling out an old driveway, and for anyone who needs material off a site and taken somewhere legal.
Because the machines and the trucks are ours, the dig and the cartage happen together. You are not paying a hire rate for an excavator sitting idle waiting on a truck that is on another job.
What we take on
- Site cuts and site preparation
- Driveway and slab excavation
- Concrete, path and footing removal
- Trenching and detailed excavation
- Service and footing trenches
- Spoil cartage to licensed facilities
- Clean fill, mixed spoil and concrete handled separately
- Site left in a state the next trade can work in
The right machine for the access
1.7 tonne Kubota
The one that gets through a standard side gate. Narrow access and backyard work without turning the job into a wheelbarrow exercise.
2.5, 3.5 and 5.5 tonne
Bigger machines as the volume and the site allow, so a large cut does not take a week.
Bobcats and skid steers
For pushing, levelling, loading and site clean-up.
Small, medium and large tippers
The truck matches the job instead of making four trips or turning up half empty.
The ones we get asked most
Can I get excavation without the concreting?
Yes. Plenty of our excavation work is standalone — for builders, landscapers and owner-builders.
What size machines do you run?
Kubota excavators from 1.7 tonne through 2.5, 3.5 and 5.5 tonne, plus bobcats and skid steers, and tippers in small, medium and large.
Do you do trenching?
Yes — service trenches, footing trenches and detailed excavation are part of what we do, for builders and homeowners alike.
How is disposal charged?
By what comes out and where it has to go. Clean fill, mixed spoil and broken concrete all carry different disposal costs, and tipping fees are what they are. It goes on the quote as its own line.
Can you get into a tight backyard?
Usually, yes — that is what the 1.7 tonne machine is for. Send a photo of the access showing gate width, overhead clearance and ground surface.
Is there a minimum job size?
No job is too small. A single bin’s worth of old path is still a job we will quote.
Do you break out old concrete?
Yes. Breaking out driveways, paths, slabs and footings and carting the rubble away is standard work for us.
