Built for heavy traffic, harsh weather, and lasting performance.
A driveway is often the last thing on a project and the first thing people see. Peard builds driveways that look right and perform under load — residential and commercial, new builds and upgrades.
Toby personally reviews every enquiry. We respond within 24 hours with honest advice and a clear price.
Poor water management means water sits on the surface or flows where it shouldn't. Surface degradation and erosion follow.
A driveway is only as strong as its base. Insufficient depth or poorly compacted sub-base leads to cracking, rutting, and failure under heavy vehicles.
The material spec depends on vehicle weight, traffic frequency, and ground conditions. Using residential-grade spec on a commercial property is a ticking clock.
Ground conditions under the driveway determine the base depth required. We assess before we quote — not after we've started.
Every driveway we build has correct crossfall and longitudinal grades for water to drain away from the surface and away from structures.
Correct depth of compacted AP40, AP20, or specified aggregate depending on load requirements. Compacted in lifts — not dumped and rolled once.
Finished to the correct level for your chosen surface — chip seal, asphalt, concrete, or exposed aggregate. We hand over formation-ready.
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.
