From a new road through the hills to a driveway on a new build, you deal with Ethan from the first call to the finished job. Not sure where your job fits? Give him a ring.
New roads built from scratch and existing roads regraded the right way.
Driveways formed, metalled and graded to a clean, hard finish that drains properly and stands up to everyday traffic. New builds, rural driveways and tired old ones brought back to life.
Full new vineyard developments, from contouring and drainage to crossings, roads and headlands. With years on large winery projects, we know what a productive, professional vineyard needs and treat your investment with care.
Redevelopment works for existing blocks, starting with vine and post removal and covering the drainage, roading and headland work needed to get the block ready to replant.
All the groundworks for your build, from start to finish. Sites cleared and levelled, building pads and house sites prepared to spec, and drains laid, so your builder can get straight into it.
Scrub, stumps and old growth cleared with the dozer and digger, root raked and tidied up, leaving the ground ready for whatever comes next.
Fence lines cleared and levelled so your fencer has a clean, straight line to work along, on the flats or out in the hills.
Bare land shaped into usable ground. Access roads, building platforms, contouring and drainage planned and built as one job, with one operator to deal with from start to finish.
Grader, digger and dozer services for the jobs that don't fit neatly in a box. If it involves moving dirt, give Ethan a call.
Growing up around farms and machinery means we know what a productive farm needs. Farmers are the backbone of the country, and we've got you covered for all your farm earthworks.
Groundworks for commercial, winery and civil projects. Ethan has been a big part of large scale developments and brings a steady hand and an eye for detail to every job.
Extensive experience in forestry earthworks and a real understanding of what the industry needs in challenging country. Roads and skid sites built and maintained for forestry projects across the region.
Vehicle entranceways off the road built to NZTA approved standards, so your access is safe, compliant and built to last.
Premium roading materials and crushed aggregates from our own hard rock quarry, 15 minutes out of Renwick. Supplied and carted to your site.
There's more to a good grading job than brushing over a road. If your potholes keep coming back after every grade, they were filled, not fixed. We cut below the potholes and corrugations, then relay the surface to a smooth finish with a defined crown, so water sheds off the road instead of sitting on it. The result is a road that lasts longer and costs less to maintain.
Ring or text with the job.
A defined crown so the surface sheds water.
The right aggregate, laid and compacted properly.
We now run our own hard rock quarry 15 minutes out of Renwick, supplying premium roading materials and crushed aggregates, carted to your site.
Quarry aggregate is hard rock crushed to size and mixed with natural fines. Every piece has broken faces that lock together, and the natural clays bind it into a hard, cohesive surface that sheds water. River gravel is mostly round stone, sand and soft silt, which won't interlock and breaks down in the wet. The result is a harder road, pad or subgrade that wears less and needs less maintenance.
Fine basecourse for driveways, yards and top coats.
Heavier basecourse for roads, pads and subgrades.
Drainage material for subsoil and ballast drains.
Large rock for faces, walls and batters.
Rock armour for crossings, culvert outlets and banks.
Heavy rock protection for waterways and erosion control.
