Townsville & surrounds

Drainage & trenching

Trenches dug cleanly to the line you need, and ground shaped to move water the right way.

Trenches dug right the first time

From a short run for a new water line to longer stormwater trenches, we dig trenches across Townsville and surrounds for home owners, builders and rural properties.

What we can do

  • Trenches for water, sewer, stormwater, power and communications conduits
  • Stormwater and drainage trenches
  • Shaping the ground so water drains away from buildings and driveways
  • Backfilling trenches once your trade is finished

Narrow or deep, we’ve got the gear

For neat, narrow trenches we use a Dingo mini loader with a trencher attachment. For deeper or wider trenches we bring in a 5-tonne excavator with the right bucket, including a mud bucket for shaping drains.

Working with your trades

We dig the trench; your licensed plumber or electrician lays and connects the pipes or cables. Tell us what’s going in the trench and we’ll dig it to suit.

Frequently asked questions

Do you lay pipes or connect services?
We dig, shape and backfill. Pipe laying and connections for plumbing and electrical work must be done by the appropriately licensed trade.
Do you check for underground services?
Yes. We can lodge a Before You Dig Australia request before we dig, or you're welcome to organise it yourself.
