Attention rural land owners in the Bega Valley and Eurobodalla regions 🗣️
Were you an unfortunate victim of the devastating 2019/2020 fires…?

Did you have fire clean up works carried out and are now left with unsightly and dangerous burn piles that didn’t burn properly and won’t burn again because they’re full of dirt, and now are riddled with vermin and weeds…?
This is extremely common and you are not alone, and best of all we can help 😎

The pics below are of a clients property that was burnt out in the Yankees Gap fire, as is clearly visible they were left with many burn piles that weren’t built properly and didn’t burn, then they were left with these horrible messes scattered all over their beautiful property.

We were able to help clean up this mess and while doing so clear wattle regrowth that was out of control since the fires.

So why do we still prefer to stack and burn when undertaking hazard reduction clearing work…?
Well because simply mulching wattle and scrub doesn’t remove it completely leaving behind roots that regrow almost immediately!
This means you need to either use harsh sprays or continuously slash the regrowth.

How we do hazard reduction clearing is removing the entire tree… stump, roots, the lot! And by building proper burn piles without loads of dirt in them the pile burns away killing the seed and preventing regrowth.

We also fill in all stump holes and compact the disturbed soil to prevent erosion 👨🏼‍🌾😃

The pics show what an incredible difference we made to this beautiful property and just how neat and tidy we do what we do 😎😮‍💨

Also fire permits are being issued already in the Bega Valley thanks to the favourable weather conditions!! 😅

We can deal directly with your local RFS and undertake controlled burning of piles to eliminate stress on you the customer and the chance of the burn becoming uncontrollable🔥

Anyone interested in having their property PROPERLY cleaned up and conducting hazard reduction clearing give us a call 📞
We will be happy to arrange a FREE onsite consultation to discuss your options 👷🏼‍♂️📝

🐴 🐎 ***ATTENTION*** Bega Valley and Eurobodalla Shire residents… 📢

Do you own a horse or horses…? 🐎
Want the ultimate Christmas gift for your horse and the entire riding family…?
🎅🎁
Ever dreamed of having your very own custom made arena…? 🤷‍♂️😍

We can help 🥳💪🏽

We have completed many arenas and round yards along the south coast. Our focus is on you 🫵 we tailor an arena to suit your discipline! It might be jumping, hacking, dressage or stock work like camp drafting… or just somewhere safe for kids to develope their skills… we listen to what you need from your horse(s) and work with you to achieve the desired outcome.

In the past we have done arenas from 20x30 all the way up to a massive 65x85 (almost the size of a football field) 😮
We can also customise the surface to suit your style, sand and soil are the most popularly requested options.
We place great emphasis on drainage and symmetry, also we ensure that all topsoil stays on your property and is used to regenerate and contour all excavated areas… 👌🤠

Some benefits of having an arena of your own can be…

🐴 not having to travel to use an arena.
🐎 you can set it up how you want to.
🐴 you can get more out of your horse.
🐎 ads to property value.
🐴 safety and privacy.
🐎 being able to achieve your goals easier.
🐴 training in an environment you have total control of.

We offer a FREE onsite assessment, where we will discuss your desires, and draw on our 20+ years of experience to come up with a layout and surface that fulfills your requirements 👌😎

We have also completed many round yards and another speciality is wading ponds…! We can customise wading ponds to your desired water depth and contours in and out of the pond for ease of entry and exit 👀💪🏽👌🤠

If you’ve ever dreamed of having your own arena we can help that dream become reality! 🐎

We are currently taking bookings for November/December and garantee prompt service to avoid the pre Christmas rush 🎅🎁

If you’d like to discuss your options you can call or message. Alternatively jump on our website or send us a messenger message 💻⌨️

…. And BOOM 💥 just like that another outstanding farm dam done and dusted…!!! 👁️👁️

This beautiful medium sized dam was constructed on a lovely RU1 small holdings property at the base of the amazingly picturesque Wadbilliga mountain range in the Yowrie Valley.

Same as last time this was a greenfield site meaning it was completely untouched when we undertook the build… 😎

Firstly we did an initial consultation with the customer, discussing options and probable/possible outcomes, then we raised a detailed quote outlining all expenses, scope of work, estimated timeline and including important expenses like machine transport 🚛💨

Next we completed a site survey where we pegged the dam and spillway. It’s important to note we place great emphasis on catchment area at this point and customise the spillway and “freeboard” (amount of wall above water level). This is a common mistake that less experienced contractors regularly make.

Then we stripped the site of topsoil, excavated the keyway until we exposed the artesian water source, (shut that seep off forcing water back into the dam), then constructed the wall from impervious material, compacted and conditioned in layers until the wall was constructed, finally we cut the spillway into virgin material and re-soiled the entire site 🥵

But wait for it, the best part… it’s already filling with ground water not run-off 💧and even better than that… the project was completed UNDER BUDGET! Meaning we only charged the customer what the job cost not what was quoted 😱😮‍💨

If you’re interested in having a dam on your property get in touch on the details below 👇 also we not only build new dams we can clean out and enlarge existing dams and repair ones that just aren’t doing dam things 😅

G’day friends and followers… check out our latest completed project… a large farm dam constructed on a beautiful property at the base of Brown Mountain!

This dam was completed using one single machine, our 25T Hitachi excavator! 😎

Water depth is around 5 meters, with wall height above existing ground level approximately 3.5 and depth of keyway at it’s deepest was approximately 6.5 meters making the modified material from keyway floor to top of crest around 10 meters!!! 😲

As you will see the dam was built in exceptional clay and is also making water as we exposed the porous sand seam which runs beautiful, clear, heavily mineralised ground water. 💦💦

Prior to construction no surveying or testing was required as we used our extensive knowledge and experience to accurately estimate how the dam would be built and what the final product would be… 👨‍🎓

If anyone is interested in having a dam constructed on their property or perhaps simply an existing dam cleaned out and enlarged get in touch in the details below 👇

We offer free site assessment and estimates for all types of earthworks right across the Bega Valley, Eurobodalla, and Snow Mtns regions.

Now is the perfect time for dam construction as the weather is dry and it would be in place before our usually wet season of February/March. ☔️☔️

We currently are taking bookings for end of year projects to be completed prior to Christmas break and have some availability over the next 2 months.

Other specialty services include…

• Horse arenas
• Site Cuts
• Silage Pits
• Effluent Ponds
• Hazard Reduction clearing
• Pipelines and drainage blankets
• Rock work

Give us a call or send a message to let us know how we can move the earth for you. 🌍💨🫷
