It depends on your site and budget, but concrete sleepers or sandstone blocks are common choices. Concrete offers durability and a clean look, while sandstone gives a premium, natural finish. We’ll recommend the best option based on access, soil type, and drainage needs.
Detailed excavation refers to precision earthmoving, things like footing cuts, trenching, and tight-access digging. These tasks require accuracy, especially around existing structures or when working to engineering levels.
It varies depending on the size and access. A small excavation or driveway cut might take a few hours, while a retaining wall or subdivision prep can take several days. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe with your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
