Civil works built for Nelson-Tasman ground

From subdivision earthworks to farm races and yard prep, D&R Works handles the civil and bulk earthmoving work that has to be right before anything else can happen on site — roading, bulk cut and fill, trenching, site clearing and hill-country work. We work directly with homeowners, and alongside builders, developers and other contractors on larger jobs.

15+ years of reading Nelson-Tasman ground — clay, rock, sand and steep hill country — means we know what a site's likely to throw up before we start moving earth.
