As a project manager from small to large scale civil construction, I can highly recommend Peard Excavation. Holly & Toby are great to deal with from the tendering stage of a project right through to the site works with their highly skilled team. Their out of the box thinking and working hard with us to get the job complete is exactly what anyone wants from an excavation company.

What our clients
actually say.
I have worked with Toby Peard for over 8 years on new builds and renovations in the wider Bay of Plenty area. He is extremely experienced and knows what he is doing. Get him involved in your next build from day 1 — you won't regret it.
Stroud Homes Bay of Plenty has been working with Peard Excavation since our very first build. We have never had any issues and have never had to look elsewhere for our earthwork and excavation needs.
Peard Excavation ensures that site and retaining works continue alongside each other. This reduced our timeframe and saved valuable dollars.

Most residential jobs land between $120 and $180 per hour for a machine and operator, and small site works typically run from around $2,500. Price depends on access, ground conditions, spoil cartage and how much material has to leave site. We quote fixed price wherever the scope allows, after a free site visit — no hourly surprises.
