We specialise in tight access excavation down to one metre wide. We operate between Hamilton, Auckland, and Katikati. Dig Head are experienced excavating contractors offering a comprehensive range of excavation services to suit compact worksites where space is limited. With diggers for hire and a commitment to high-quality results, we’re dedicated to exceeding customer expectations. Whether you’re a landowner or a tradesman, there is no job too small. Our general excavation services involve the digging, moving, and removal of materials such as soil, rock, and debris to prepare sites for construction, landscaping, and other projects. While we specialise in smaller-scale excavation using diggers ranging from 1.7 to 5.5 tonnes, we are fully equipped to undertake larger earthworks projects requiring more substantial machinery, such as bulldozers or scrapers. Our skilled team ensures precise and efficient results, regardless of project size. If you think your site is so compact that it requires manual labour with a spade and wheelbarrow, think again. Our 1.7-tonne excavator and Dingo Skid Steer Loader can access the most confined job sites, with entry points as narrow as one metre wide and as low as 1.65 metres high. Whether you need excavation under a house or have a narrow gate leading to the backyard, we have the expertise and equipment to get the job done. Whether you need a mains cable trenched to your house or a water line to your garden, our trenching services cover power, telecommunications, water, and more. Using a reliable trench digger, we offer trenching widths starting at 280mm with the 1.7-tonne digger and 300mm with the 5.5-tonne digger—ensuring precise, clean trenches for all your utility needs. From basic garden shed pads to full house sites, we offer expert building construction site preparation services. Using precision laser equipment, we excavate sites to the exact grade required, ensuring cost-effective and accurate results. Our team handles all aspects of site preparation, creating a perfect foundation for your building projects. Whether you require a small parking area in front of your house or a right-of-way for a subdivision, we deliver tailored driveway solutions. Our services include site excavation, removal of excess fill, cartage and spreading of aggregates, final trimming, and compaction. We ensure your driveway is both functional and visually appealing, meeting all your specific needs. We provide drain digging and clearing services for a range of needs, from residential swale drains to larger farm drains.

For stormwater or sewerage projects, we collaborate with local registered drainlayers to provide a complete solution. Our post hole borers and auger setups allow us to bore holes with diameters ranging from 200mm to 450mm and depths of up to 1700mm. Ideal for residential fencing, tree and shrub planting, and laying foundations, we deliver precise and reliable results tailored to your project needs.
