Our Story

Hands-on. Owner-operated. Trusted.

Peard Excavation was founded in 2016 by Toby Peard, starting with a single 5T excavator and a mission to provide better, more dependable service. Today, alongside partner Holly Turner, the business has grown into a respected operation, offering end-to-end site solutions with a personal, owner-operated touch.

Together, Toby and Holly bring over 30 years of combined excavation and engineering experience. We're more than just an excavation company — we're committed project partners who value communication, consistency and care in everything we do.

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.
