From site prep to finished lawns—diggers, drainage, drive prep, garden builds and tidy hard edges. Built to look sharp and last in Canterbury conditions.
New build section needs shaping? Older site needs drainage and tidy levels? We handle the messy work—then finish it clean with lawns, planting, edging and paths.
One team from digger to detail, so your project runs faster with fewer headaches. Clear comms, tidy sites, and results that last.
Tidy site prep and clean finishes. Two simple buckets—so you know exactly what’s included.
Site cuts, levelling, cart-outs, trenching, post holes and base prep for drives, paths and patios.
We shape sections, remove spoil, and prepare proper bases with compaction. Need post holes for fences or decks? We drill, set and leave the site tidy. Drainage issues? We trench services and install soak pits and scoria as needed.
Best for: New builds, relevels, poor drainage, access fixes, and anything that needs a digger.
Finish the look with ready lawn, planting, bark, edging, and neat garden builds that tie into paths and decks.
Topsoil spread and level, instant turf or seed, garden beds, edging and tidy transitions to hard surfaces. We design practical layouts that are low-maintenance and look sharp year-round.
Best for: New build finishing, family lawns, rental refreshes, and tidy front-of-house upgrades.
