Mini Excavator Work

Small machine, big reach. Small machine for tight access, gates and backyards.

Not every job has room for a big excavator. The Kubota fits through a standard gate, works beside the house and sits on rubber tracks, so it can get in where a 16 tonne machine cannot.

Paul runs it himself. That means one person who talks to you, runs the machine and cleans up. It is a good fit for backyards, side yards, and finished properties you want to protect.

Mini Excavator Work
The right machine

The Kubota mini excavator is the main machine here. Rubber tracks protect surfaces, and the compact size works through gates and tight spots. The Volvo takes over when the job grows.

What's included

  • Backyard and side yard digging
  • Small trenches and utility tie-ins
  • Pond, pad and garden bed excavation
  • Stump and boulder removal on small lots
  • Demolition of sheds and small slabs
  • Spreading and levelling of soil and gravel

Who it's for

  • Homeowners with limited access
  • Finished lawns and landscaping
  • Small repairs near buildings
  • Jobs too small for a big machine
How it works

From call to clean site.

Check access

Send photos or have us visit. We measure the gate, check overhead lines and see where the machine can travel.

Free quote

We price the job based on what needs to be dug, moved or removed, and what the site demands.

Protect and dig

Where needed we protect hard surfaces and work carefully around lawns, fences and buildings.

Clean up

We leave the site tidy. Spoil is spread, piled, or loaded for removal depending on what you chose.

Questions

Good to know.

How narrow a gate can the Kubota get through?

It depends on the machine setup, but it is made for tight access. Measure your opening and send it to us with photos. Paul will confirm before booking so there are no surprises.

Will it damage my driveway or lawn?

Rubber tracks are far gentler than steel, but any machine can mark soft ground. We discuss protection and routes ahead of time so you know what to expect.

When would you use the bigger Volvo instead?

When the job is deep, wide, or involves a lot of material. Paul will tell you which machine suits your site. Some projects use both, depending on access and volume.

Can you remove a stump or a small slab?

Often yes, depending on size and access. Send us photos and tell us what is involved. We can arrange trucking for debris if it has to leave the property.
