Introduction to Our Site Preparation Services

Site preparation.

 For site preparation done right, our 6-tonne excavator is the ultimate all-rounder. It’s agile enough for smaller sites yet powerful enough to tackle an impressive range of tasks—from land clearing and stump removal to auger drilling, grading, and basic compaction. Whether you’re dealing with rocky terrain or need precise post-hole drilling, our versatile excavator (outfitted with a rock breaker and auger attachment) delivers professional, cost-effective results. 

Land Clearing, Stump Removal & Debris Management

  •  Clearing Vegetation: Our team removes trees, shrubs, and undergrowth to clear the way for construction.
  • Stump Extraction: Stubborn stumps are no match for our 6-ton excavator, which digs around roots for efficient removal.
  • Rock Breaker Attachment: Large rocks or concrete slabs are easily broken down into manageable pieces.
  • Debris Hauling: We load debris—stumps, rocks, and other materials—into trucks or dumpsters for proper disposal or recycling.


Why It’s Ideal:
The 6-ton excavator provides the agility needed for tighter spaces alongside the power required to clear stumps and rocks quickly, making it an essential asset for comprehensive site prep.

Grading & Slope Correction

  •  Fine-Grading the Surface: Our operators use the bucket to sculpt the terrain into a level surface.
  • Establishing Drainage Slopes: Proper grading directs water away from crucial areas, minimizing pooling and erosion.


Why It’s Ideal:
Our skilled approach to grading ensures a stable foundation for construction. Eliminating uneven terrain reduces future maintenance and enhances the durability of your build.

Trenching & Excavation

  •  Utility Installation: We dig trenches for cables, water lines, and other utilities without needing a specialized trenching tool.
  • Foundation Footings: From shallow footings to smaller basement areas, our excavator handles moderate digging tasks with precision.


Why It’s Ideal:
A 6-ton excavator strikes a balance between power and control, perfect for small-to-medium site prep projects where accuracy is essential.

Backfilling & Basic Compaction

  •  Refilling Trenches: After placing utilities or foundations, we backfill the area with excavated soil.
  • Bucket Tamping: Our excavator bucket applies light compaction by pressing the filled soil, reducing air pockets and stabilizing the ground.

Demolition & Debris Removal

  •  Removing Concrete & Brick Walls: We can break up and remove old driveways, patios, and brick walls using the excavator’s power and rock breaker attachment.
  • Small Structures: Sheds, fences, and non-load-bearing walls are dismantled with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
  • Debris Loading: We load demolition waste—including broken concrete, bricks, and timber—directly into a tipper truck for swift and efficient disposal.


Why It’s Ideal:
Performing demolition and cleanup with one piece of equipment eliminates extra steps, streamlines your project timeline, and reduces costs by avoiding the need for multiple specialized machines.

Auger Drilling

  •  Post-Hole Drilling: Our auger attachment quickly creates holes for fence posts, signposts, or footings.
  • Soil Sampling & Geotechnical Work: For smaller investigative needs, our auger can also drill test holes to evaluate soil conditions.
  • Clean, Consistent Bores: The excavator’s hydraulic power ensures steady, precise drilling performance.


Why It’s Ideal:
Using an auger attachment on the excavator saves the time and cost of renting separate drilling equipment, making quick work of repetitive or large-scale post-hole projects.
