Proper drainage is critical in Marlborough — whether you are managing stormwater on a hillside section or installing irrigation across a vineyard block. We excavate trenches, lay pipe, and grade swales to keep water moving where it should.

• Drainage Installation – Trenching and laying drainage systems for residential, agricultural, and horticultural sites.
• Irrigation System Installation – Excavating trenches for drip lines, sprinkler systems, and mainline pipe.
• Water Troughs & Dam Digging – Excavating water storage areas and small dams for farms and lifestyle blocks.

Demolition & Site Clearance

When old structures need to come down or land needs restoring, we handle the full job — from knocking it down to carting it away and leaving a clean, level site ready for the next use.

• Demolition – Residential and rural structure removal, concrete breaking, and complete site clearance.
• Site Remediation – Land restoration, contaminated soil removal, re-grading, and ground rehabilitation.
• Land Clearing – Clearing scrub, vegetation, and debris. Burn pile stacking and burn-off management.
• Tree & Stump Removal – Clearing trees, stumps, and roots for construction, planting, or landscaping.

Our Equipment

We run a 14-tonne Hitachi ZAXIS excavator and an Isuzu CXZ truck that carries over 14 tonnes per load. Having both a digger and truck on site means we can dig, load, and cart material in one visit — no waiting around for a separate truck to show up. It keeps jobs moving and keeps your costs down.
