Our Agricultural Contracting Services
Irrigation Ponds
We construct custom irrigation ponds to suit your farm’s water storage needs. Using efficient excavation techniques, we ensure ponds are built to hold water securely and are shaped for easy maintenance and maximum capacity.
Tile Drains
Our team installs subsurface tile drainage systems to improve soil conditions, reduce waterlogging, and increase crop yields. We work with precision to lay tiles at the correct depth and gradient for long-term effectiveness.
Irrigation Pipes
We lay and install irrigation pipelines of all sizes to distribute water efficiently across your property. Whether for pivots, K-lines, or fixed systems, we ensure reliable and leak-free connections throughout.
Tree Clearing
We offer complete tree clearing services, including felling, stump removal, and clean-up. Ideal for pasture development, cropping expansion, or dairy conversions, we clear land efficiently while minimising disruption.
Land Scraping
Our land-scraping services level and shape ground to improve drainage, prepare for planting, or develop infrastructure. We use precision machinery to ensure a smooth, even finish across the site.
Laneway Building
We build strong and weather-resistant laneways to support stock movement and farm access. Our laneways are designed with proper base, drainage, and surface materials for long-term durability.
Fencing
From boundary fencing to internal paddock divisions, we provide high-quality fencing solutions to suit your property’s needs. We install post-and-wire, electric, and permanent fencing with accuracy and care.
Scrub Clearing
We clear dense scrub and undergrowth to reclaim and restore unproductive land. Our methods are efficient and tailored to your land type, ensuring you get the most out of your property.
Dairy Conversions
We assist in full or partial dairy conversions, preparing land and infrastructure for dairy farming operations. From clearing and drainage to laneways and bunkers, we deliver complete, coordinated services.
Silage Bunkers
We construct durable silage bunkers designed to handle heavy use and seasonal demand. Built with reinforced materials and proper drainage, our bunkers are made to preserve silage quality and support daily operations.
