Earthworks and excavation
Land and tree clearing, driveways, pads, slashing and cartage. Ring Joel, get a straight quote, and he runs the job.

Driveway prep for gravel or concrete, plus access roads. Cut, shaped and gravelled to handle the ute, the float and the truck.
Shed pads and slab prep
Site cut, levelled and compacted, ready for your shed or your concreter's slab. We prep, we don't pour.
Tank pads, slashing and cartage

Rural fencing
We build rural fences too. Boundary, paddock, house yard or stock yards, big jobs and small ones, anywhere around the Hunter.
Timber post and rail with mesh
The clean, solid look acreage owners and horse people want around the house, the yard and the paddocks. Keeps dogs in and lasts.
- Hardwood posts and sawn top rail
- Mesh to keep dogs and stock in
- House yards, horse paddocks, lifestyle blocks
Steel posts, barb and plain wire
Proper strainer assemblies and wire tensioned right, so the fence stays tight and stock stays where it should.
- Galvanised strainers and stays
- Steel posts, barbed and plain wire
- Boundary, paddock and stock fencing
Yards, gates and repairs
Cattle yards, gates, replacing tired old fence and fixing storm or flood damage. If it's rural fencing, we do it.
Walk the finished job
Timber post and rail with mesh, just finished on a Hunter block.
Clear the line, then build the fence
Thick bush, rock, old wire or a slope that would beat a post-hole digger. We cut it, level it and fence it in one go, so you're not paying two contractors or waiting weeks between them.
Machines on every job
Excavators from 1.7t to 14t, a D6T dozer and the attachments to match: grabs, augers, rock breaker and post drivers. Rocky Hunter ground doesn't hold us up.
Timber or steel, done properly
Hardwood post and rail with mesh, or galvanised steel strainers with barb and plain wire. Built to hold stock for years.
You deal with Joel
Family owned and Hunter based. The bloke who quotes your job is the one on the machine.
Boundary fence? Your neighbour may owe half.
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act, neighbours usually share the cost of a dividing fence. We'll give you a written quote you can hand straight to them.
Rebuilding after flood or fire?
If you've received disaster recovery funding for fencing, we can clear and rebuild it in one job. Check what's open with the NSW Rural Assistance Authority.

Common questions
What earthworks do you do?
Land and tree clearing, driveways and access roads, shed, slab and tank pads, slashing and machine cartage. If you're not sure it fits, give us a call.
Do you build fences as well?
Yes. Post and rail, steel post and wire, cattle yards, gates and repairs.
Do you do the clearing and the fencing?
Yes. We clear the line with our own machines, then build the fence. One quote, same team, no chasing an excavator bloke and a fencer separately.
Do you pour concrete?
No. We prep and level for slabs and driveways, ready for your concreter.
Do I have to pay for the whole boundary fence?
Usually not. Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act, neighbours generally share the cost of a boundary fence. We can talk you through how it works.
How far do you travel?
Mostly around an hour from Greta, including Maitland, Branxton, Gresford, Cessnock, Singleton and Dungog. We'll look at further out for the right job.

How much does a job cost?
It depends on the job, the ground and the access. Rock, slope and clearing all change the price. We come out, look at it with you and give you a clear written quote for free.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A small pad, a bit of clearing, a few panels of house-yard fencing or a repair after a storm. Big or small, give us a call.
