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.

WHERE POOL EXCAVATION GOES WRONG.
WRONG MACHINE FOR THE SHAPE
Standard excavators struggle with freeform pools. The result is rough profiles that cost the pool builder time and money to correct.
SITE DAMAGE IN TIGHT ACCESS
Getting a machine to a back yard without tearing up the lawn, damaging fences, or hitting the house requires skill and the right sized equipment.
ROCK AND UNEXPECTED GROUND
Discovering rock mid-dig without a plan for removal turns a 2-day job into a 2-week problem. Experience in local ground conditions matters.
HOW WE EXCAVATE POOLS.
SITE VISIT BEFORE QUOTING
Every pool excavation quote is done from a site visit. We assess access, ground conditions, the pool design, and what machine is right for your specific job.
TILTROTATOR TECHNOLOGY
Our 360° tiltrotator attachment allows the bucket to rotate and tilt to any angle — cutting precise shapes including curved profiles, sloped floors, and complex pool designs that a standard bucket can't replicate.
TIGHT ACCESS SOLUTIONS
Our tight-access excavator fits through a standard gate and can access most rear yards. For very tight situations we assess alternative access options before we quote.
SPOIL REMOVAL
All excavated material is removed in-house. No external cartage company to coordinate. We leave the site clean and ready for the pool builder.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN A POOL EXCAVATION.
EQUIPMENT FOR POOL EXCAVATION.
WHAT IS A 360° TILTROTATOR?
A tiltrotator is an attachment that sits between the excavator arm and the bucket. It allows the bucket to rotate 360° and tilt 45° in either direction. For pool excavation this means we can cut precise curves, slopes, and angles that a standard bucket simply can't achieve. The result is a cleaner excavation that requires less hand work from the pool builder — saving time and money on your overall project.
What our clients
actually say.
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.
