Services

Earthworks services across the Waikato

Eleven things we do, all of them involving a digger and a plan. Everything is quoted free and on site, so the price you get is the price for your job — not a guess off a rate card.

Site cuts and site preparation — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

01

Site cuts & site preparation

Levelling and benching a section so the build starts on solid, accurate ground.

Before a slab goes down or a shed arrives, the ground has to be right. We cut, bench and level to the levels your builder or engineer has specified, deal with the cut-and-fill, and leave a pad that's compacted and ready to hand over.

Excavation — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

02

Excavation

General digging for builds, pools, tanks, sheds and services.

Water tanks, septic systems, pool holes, shed pads, service runs. Clean, accurate digging with the spoil managed properly rather than piled somewhere it'll be in the way for a month.

Trenching — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

03

Trenching

Water, power, comms and stormwater runs cut to depth, backfilled and left tidy.

Trenches cut to the depth and fall the job needs, whether that's a services run to a new build or stormwater across a paddock. We backfill, compact and tidy up so you're not left with a scar across the lawn.

Driveways — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

04

Driveways

Cut, shape, base course and grade so the surface drains instead of potholing.

Most driveway failures are drainage failures. We cut to depth, shape the crossfall so water runs off rather than sitting, lay and compact base course, and grade it out. Then it lasts.

Foundations and footings — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

05

Foundations & footings

Footings dug square and to spec, ready for the concrete crew.

Footings and foundation trenches dug to the plan — square, to depth, clean walls. Your concrete crew turns up and pours instead of standing around tidying someone else's dig.

Drainage and water control — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

06

Drainage & water control

Swales, soak pits, novaflo and stormwater runs to get standing water off your section.

Boggy lawns, water pooling against the house, a paddock that won't dry out. We work out where the water's going and give it somewhere better to go — swales, soak pits, novaflo drains or a proper stormwater connection.

Call about this
Landscaping preparation — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

07

Landscaping preparation

Shaping, topsoil spreading and levelling so the landscaper starts from a clean canvas.

Stripping, shaping, spreading topsoil and levelling ready for turf, paving or planting. Done properly, so what goes on top sits flat and drains.

Call about this
Retaining walls — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

08

Retaining walls

Excavation and post holes for timber and concrete retaining, cut plumb and to line.

Batter cut back, holes augered plumb and on line, spoil managed. We do the earthworks side so the wall goes up straight and to the right line.

Call about this
Post holes — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

09

Post holes

Fences, decks, pergolas and retaining — augered fast and straight.

Auger on the digger makes short work of what would be a brutal day with a hand digger. Fence lines, deck piles, pergola posts, retaining — straight, to depth, and quick.

Call about this
Demolition — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

010

Demolition

Old sheds, slabs, decks, paths and small structures broken out and cleared.

Breaking out old concrete, pulling down tired sheds and decks, clearing the mess and carting it away. One contractor for the demolition and the earthworks that follows it.

Call about this
Spoil removal and cartage — Maximum Earthworks, Waikato

011

Spoil removal & cartage

Dirt, clay, rubble and green waste loaded and carted off.

The part people forget to budget for. We load and cart the spoil away so you aren't left staring at a pile of clay for the next six months.

★★★★★

We recently had our front yard cleared, levelled, and several tree stumps removed, and I couldn’t be happier with the job. Fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Communication was clear and easy, he arrived exactly when he said he would, and the quality of the work was excellent.

He worked efficiently, took real care with the job, and left the area looking tidy and professionally finished. The difference it has made to our yard is huge.

Highly recommend to anyone needing excavation or landscaping work done. Reliable, skilled, and great to deal with.
