Steep driveways, narrow rights-of-way, boxed-in backyards — these are the sites we specialise in, not the ones we avoid.
Some Nelson-Tasman sections just don't have easy access — steep driveways, narrow rights-of-way, tight urban backyards boxed in by fences and neighbouring houses. These are the jobs plenty of contractors turn down. They're what D&R Works specialises in.
We assess access before we assess the job. Right-sized machinery, careful planning, and — when a site genuinely can't be driven into — craning an excavator straight over a house or fence line.
Before any gear moves, we walk the site and work out exactly how it can be accessed safely and efficiently.
Mini excavators and compact gear matched to tight or sloping ground that standard-sized machinery can't reach.
When a site genuinely can't be driven into, we arrange a crane lift over a house, fence line or boundary.
No driveway access on this one, so the digger went in over the roof by crane instead.
Compact machine working wedged between the house and the bank — no room for anything bigger.
Steep backyard cut and prepped hard against the house, right-sized gear throughout.
Steep driveways, narrow rights-of-way, tight backyards, sites boxed in by neighbouring properties — anywhere standard-sized gear can't easily get in or work safely.

It can, depending on what's needed to get gear on site safely. We'll be upfront about this as part of your quote — no surprises.
