Grounded in Experience. Built on Trust.
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.
Exceptional, tailored outcomes by working closely with our clients at every stage.
From initial planning to final completion, Peard Excavation takes on full project management responsibility, handling everything from scheduling and logistics to safety and quality control. Clear, accurate pricing — on time, within budget.
Our team consists of highly skilled professionals dedicated to delivering exceptional quality on every job. We pride ourselves on a strong work ethic and the highest standards.
Peard Excavation uses the latest equipment — a full excavator fleet plus rollers, dumpers, trucks, and trailers — to ensure precision, efficiency, and safety. Our fleet is regularly maintained for peak performance.
We show up on time, ready to work, and fully committed to every job. Our clients can count on us for consistent, honest and high-quality results.
We take pride in how we work and how we present ourselves. Well-maintained equipment, tidy sites and a positive, can-do attitude on every job.
The best outcomes come from working together. We communicate clearly, take responsibility and support one another to keep projects running smoothly.
Owner-operated. Every project personally overseen.
Toby founded Peard Excavation in 2016 with a single excavator and a clear standard for how earthworks should be done. He leads every project with hands-on involvement, bringing deep site experience and a commitment to transparent, reliable delivery. Toby personally oversees consulting engagements — from the first site assessment to the final cost estimate.
Holly brings engineering and drafting expertise to every aspect of Peard's operations. She manages tendering, project coordination, and client relationships — ensuring every job is scoped accurately, priced fairly, and delivered on time. Holly is the first point of contact for new enquiries and the reason every project runs without surprises.
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.
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.
