What We Do

Built for the jobs others turn down

Restricted access micro-machinery goes where full-size equipment can't — through side gates, under houses, and into tight residential spaces without tearing up your yard.

Excavator icon

Restricted Access Excavation

Rubber-tracked micro-machinery from 720mm wide. Zero tail-swing design digs in spaces where a standard excavator won't fit — side gates, courtyards, under-house areas.

🚧

Trenching & Drainage

Precision trenching for plumbing, electrical conduit, and stormwater drainage. Clean cuts, minimal disruption, proper backfill so your site is tidy when the job's done.

🚚

Haulage & Tipper Hire

Material removal, site cleanup, and tipper hire for soil, rubble, and spoil. Cleared away so you don't have to worry about what happens after the dig.

Access Specs

How tight can we get?

If you can fit a standard wheelbarrow through it, the machinery can probably get in too. Restricted access excavation is the specialty.

720mm

That's the width of a standard side gate. If you've got that, there's access. Most jobs booked here are the ones others said couldn't be done.

Why Book Here

Restricted access is a specialty, not an afterthought

Most excavation contractors quote standard-access jobs and treat narrow sites as a hassle. This is the opposite — restricted access is the core of the work.

Purpose-built machinery

720mm–1000mm rubber-tracked, zero tail-swing units, chosen specifically for Brisbane's older, narrower residential blocks.

Local knowledge

Brisbane's clay-heavy soil, older subdivisions and side-gate access are the daily norm here, not the exception.

Straight answers

Send a quote request with your access details and get a fast, honest read on whether the job's doable — no wasted site visits.

Full service

Excavation, trenching, drainage and haulage covered end to end — one job, one point of contact.

📋 Not sure what to include? Tap for a quick checklist

Measure if you can:

  • Narrowest point along the path — Dave needs at least 720mm clear access
  • The gate opening itself, and any tight turns, steps or low branches/gutters along the way
  • Rough size of the dig zone — length x width x depth is close enough

Worth mentioning in the description:

  • Soil type if you know it — soft dirt, clay, rocky, tree roots
  • The job itself — trench, pool, turf prep, post holes, etc.
  • Whether the dug material needs hauling away or can stay on site

Got photos? A shot of the gate/entry, the path down to the work area, and the work area itself all help — attach them below, or text them to 07 4802 2041 after you submit.

💡 If you know it, add your narrowest access width (gate or path) — it's the fastest way to confirm the job's a fit.

💡 Soil type, job type, and whether spoil needs hauling away all help us quote faster and more accurately.

📸 Up to 3 photos, 5MB each — gate/entry, the path in, and the work area are most useful.

Enquiries are reviewed and matched with a local restricted-access contractor.
