Retaining Walls

Timber, concrete and block retaining. Engineered hole boring, post setting and backfill on tricky slopes, and tight access sites.

SWIMMING POOL EXCAVATION & INSTALL

Concrete, fibreglass and plunge pools made to engineered drawings, including tight-access sites.

Driveways & Metalling

Demolition & Plant Hire

Swimming pools

Every pool starts with the dig

Concrete, fibreglass, plunge or infinity? The shape you choose changes the excavation, access and site works underneath it. We've put together a free guide covering the most common pool shapes and build styles, and what each one means for your section.

  • Rectangular, freeform, L-shape and plunge digs
  • Infinity and negative-edge pools on sloping sites
  • Tight-access excavation with mini diggers
  • Spoil removal, backfill and pool surrounds
