Our Earthworks Process

Turning ground into greatness

We approach earthworks with precision, creativity, and care - balancing form and function to get the best from your land:

01.

Consultation

We start by understanding your needs - whether it's functional reshaping, erosion control, or aesthetic features like a fire pit or natural path.

02.

Site Assessment

We evaluate the topography, soil conditions, and drainage to design solutions that are practical and visually cohesive.

03.

Design & Planning

We draft a tailored earthworks plan that integrates features like boulder walls, berms, walkways, or terraces to complement your landscape design.

04.

Earth Shaping & Construction

Using proven techniques and equipment, we carefully reshape the land, place rock features, and prepare the base for decks, retaining structures, or softscaping.

05.

Final Touches & Integration

We blend the new earth forms into your wider landscape with planting, paving, or structural elements for a natural, finished look.

Using Natural Materials with Intention

We believe in working with nature - not against it. Our earthworks often incorporate locally sourced rock, soil, and natural materials to ensure each feature looks like it’s always belonged there. From sculpted banks and stone walkways to boulder retaining walls, fire pits, and water features, we create landscapes that are grounded, enduring, and distinctly Rotorua.

Our strong relationships with local suppliers also allow us to access unique and high-quality materials that elevate your final result.
