Yards, gates and repairs

Cattle yards, stock gates and entry gates built to handle livestock, plus storm, flood or stock damage repairs. If it’s rural fencing, we do it.

Clear the line first, then fence it

Plenty of rural fence lines start with scrub, timber, rock or a slope in the way. We clear the line with our own machines, then build the fence on it, so it runs straight and lasts. One quote, the same team, and no chasing an excavator bloke and a fencer separately.

Posts go in with a post driver attachment on the excavator or the tractor post rammer, so they go in straight, even up steep country.

  • Land cleared with excavators and a dozer
  • Fence built straight on the fresh line
  • One crew from clearing to finished fence

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.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Kirkman Earthworks did fencing our house yard! They installed a timber post and top rail fence with mesh, and the finished result looks fantastic. The workmanship is excellent, and the fence has made our yard look great while providing a secure space for our family and pets.

Highly recommend Kirkman Earthworks to anyone looking for quality fencing, reliable service and a great end result. We’re extremely happy with the job and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!

Absolutely thrilled with our new rural driveway and rail fencing! The finished result looks fantastic. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, the attention to detail is spot on, everything has been completed to a very high standard. The new driveway provides great access, while the rail fencing adds the perfect finishing touch to our property.

We couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend Kirkman Earthworks and Rural Fencing services to anyone looking for quality work.
Great job from start to finish!
