Frequently Asked Questions

  • HOW CAN GABION ROCK WALLS BE USED FOR EROSION CONTROL?

    Gabion rock walls are effective for erosion control by stabilising soil and preventing water runoff. The rocks within the walls allow for proper drainage while creating a barrier to reduce the impact of fast-moving water. These structures are particularly useful in areas prone to heavy rainfall or along steep slopes, helping to protect your land and minimise soil erosion over time.

  • HOW DOES FIREBREAK CONSTRUCTION HELP PREVENT BUSHFIRE DAMAGE?

    Firebreak construction involves creating cleared areas devoid of vegetation, which act as a barrier to slow or stop the spread of fire. These strategically placed zones prevent fires from reaching your property, crops, and infrastructure, reducing the overall risk of damage during bushfire season. Firebreaks are essential for protecting large rural properties and enhancing fire safety.

  • WHAT TYPE OF EXCAVATOR IS NEEDED FOR LANDSCAPING PROJECTS?

    For landscaping projects, a smaller, more versatile excavator, like a mini excavator, is ideal. It allows for precise digging, grading, and trenching in tight spaces and residential areas. Mini excavators are highly manoeuvrable and can handle tasks such as soil excavation, tree stump removal, and trenching for drainage, making them well-suited for landscaping.
