Our own machines, ready to go
Excavators, bobcats, tip trucks and compactors are already in the yard, so a job isn’t left waiting for a subbie or a hired-in machine to turn up. That keeps the work moving and the programme intact.

Plant HireWhy use us
Auckland Earthworks and Earthmoving Company
Our own gear, work done to council and engineering requirements, and a crew that knows local ground, whatever size the job.
Built to council and engineering requirements
We work to the Auckland Council conditions and engineering specifications that apply to your site, which helps you avoid failed inspections, gaps in the paperwork and expensive fixes later on.
House sites through to civil scale
A small backyard prep and a subdivision-sized earthworks package get the same crew and the same care. The plant scales to the job, so you deal with one contractor however big it gets.
We know Auckland ground
Sticky clay, buried basalt, steep sections and patchy fill are normal here. Working in it every day means fewer nasty surprises once we dig and a more realistic price from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a Question for Us?
How big a job can you take on? +
We cover residential, rural, commercial and civil work. Whether a particular job suits us comes down to access, programme, the plant needed and the confirmed scope.
Where does the excavated material go? +
Suitable spoil can stay on site to be reused or spread; otherwise we arrange proper cartage and disposal. Whatever we agree on is written into your quote.
How do I get the site ready before the machines arrive? +
Clear the agreed access route, point out any known services or hazards, and sort any protection or neighbour-access arrangements. We’ll run through job-specific prep with you before we mobilise.
What parts of Auckland do you cover? +
We work right across metropolitan Auckland, and regional or rural jobs can be looked at case by case. Include your suburb when you ask for a quote and we’ll confirm whether we can help.
