Christine Baumfield

A family member needed a section cleared, leveled, garden and concrete waste removed and a large area sown in grass. Matt visited the site and Chris gave a detailed quote/estimate. Communication was excellent. There were delays outside their control due to rain and they kept us fully informed. The invoices were detailed and clear. The grass is now well established and the section is easy to maintain. The owner says visitors have been very impressed.

The team at Kiwi Excavations replaced a section of my 50 year old rotten fence in November 2024. They did a fantastic job, I'm thrilled with the result and would certainly engage them again in the future.

Excellent response time from initial inquiry. Professional and proficient information given in regards to fencing. The good old kiwi spirit of honesty and transparency regarding costs and pricing. Clear and straightforward communication given just how it should be.

Matt, Chris and their team were great to deal with from the day we phoned to arrange a site visit and quote, through to completion of the job. A communicative, prompt and efficient approach to our concreting and landscape project has resulted in a significant improvement to our on-site parking options, and enhancement to the adjoining garden area. I would highly recommend Kiwi Excavations if you are wanting effective and value for money work undertaken.

Excellent job. I needed a retaining wall and these guys got in touch through a message I posted on Neighbourly. Within around 2 weeks, it was finished. I'll be definitely using Matt and the crew again.

Great local company, with good knowledge and customer service! No job too small and reliable crew to complete the work and find solution when needed. The newly built concrete steps look great now and wish I had them done earlier! Highly recommended.

We used Kiwidig to construct a small retaining wall, a concrete path and steps to the rear of our house. Very professional staff who turned up on time, carried out the work to a high standard and left no rubbish behind! The owner Matt had even come back the following day to check if we were happy with the outcome as he was not there when his workers finished up, very good service and would use again for our next project.

The Kiwi Excavations team did a great job creating two oval concrete steps with exposed stone leading off of our verandah. The guys were professional & down to earth - excellent to liaise with. Thanks, our steps look awesome! We valued their work so much that we then utilised them for water blasting & sealing our poolside concrete, and water blasting & painting our concrete swimming pool.
