Seasonal earthmoving and site maintenance for kiwifruit orchards and agricultural properties.
Rural earthworks run on a different clock — pre-season prep windows, post-harvest tidy-ups, and weather you can't argue with. Peard understands rural terrain, tight timeframes, and seasonal programme requirements across the Bay of Plenty.
Toby personally reviews every enquiry. We respond within 24 hours with honest advice and a clear price.
Contractors who don't understand orchard cycles arrive at the wrong time — when canopy access is impossible or pre-season prep is already late.
Heavy plant on soft rural ground causes rutting, compaction and damage that takes seasons to recover from.
Block drains and waterlogged rows kill yield. Reactive drainage costs more than planned, programmed maintenance.
We plan rural work around the seasonal calendar — pre-season prep, post-harvest tidy-ups, and the dry windows in between.
Tight-access machines that move between rows without damaging plantings, plus larger plant for bulk earthworks and pond construction.
Subsoil drainage, swales, culverts and retention ponds — designed and built to keep blocks productive year-round.
We work around your crew, your packhouse, and your harvest. No surprises, no rural-naive scheduling.
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.
