If you’re planning a new build, subdivision, or landscaping project in Hawke’s Bay, the first step is getting the earthworks right. Good foundations mean everything – whether you’re cutting a house site in Havelock North, preparing a driveway in Hastings, or reshaping land in Napier. At Can You Dig It, we specialise in delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective earthworks across the region.

What Do Earthworks Involve?

Earthworks is more than just moving dirt. It includes:

• Site cuts and building platforms – levelling land so foundations sit on solid ground.
• Retaining walls – keeping banks secure and protecting against slips.
• Drainage and stormwater control – preventing water issues down the track.
• Driveways and access tracks – built strong enough to handle vehicles year-round.
• Landscaping prep – shaping your section so lawns, gardens, and fences go in smoothly.

Why Earthworks Matter in Hawke’s Bay

With our mix of clay soils, river gravels, and sloping sections, Hawke’s Bay needs more than just a digger and a driver. Poorly prepared sites can lead to drainage problems, slips, or costly repairs later. That’s why we use the latest machinery with tiltrotators and GPS control, making our work faster, safer, and more precise than traditional methods.

Do You Need Consents?

For some projects – especially retaining walls or large cuts and fills – you may need council consent. We can guide you through the process and work with engineers to make sure everything meets local requirements.

• We use modern excavators with advanced technology for accuracy.
