Services
Track Renovation
Our track renovation service utilises specialist equipment to recycle existing materials, rejuvenating surfaces for vehicles and heavy machinery. We enhance durability by incorporating cement dust and stabilising agents. Ideal for footpaths, farm tracks, and sports field access, our solutions extend surface lifespan while maintaining functionality and safety standards.
Sports Grounds
We provide comprehensive sports ground construction and renovation, covering football pitches, cricket grounds, and golf courses. Services include soil decompaction, drainage improvement, and laser levelling. Our Koro Field Top Maker ensures precise surface preparation, while Vertidrain technology enhances long-term turf health and performance for all sports surfaces.
Landscaping
Our landscaping projects combine aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. From private gardens to commercial spaces, we create hard landscaping features integrated with planting, water features, and lawns. Specialist machinery enables efficient earthworks and precise installation of patios, pathways, and retaining structures.
Pond Creation
We design and construct wildlife ponds and renovate existing water bodies. Projects include public dipping platforms, ecological enhancements, and surrounding landscaping. Our large-scale machinery handles challenging sites, delivering high-standard aquatic environments that balance biodiversity with client requirements.
Heat Pumps
We collaborate with contractors to install ground source heat pump trenching systems. Using specialist machinery, we complete excavations and reinstate sites to functional landscapes. Our precision work ensures efficient heat exchange systems while maintaining surface usability for clients across residential and commercial sectors.
