Family-Run Earthmoving · Bega Valley

Worried They'll Wreck Your Land? Done Once.

Some blokes rip in, scar the paddock, leave the track washing out by the first big rain. I read the fall of your land and build it to last. No mess left behind.

What We Do

We don't just push dirt around. We shape land you'll be living with for the next thirty years.

Work That Holds

A track is easy to cut and hard to build. Anyone with a machine can carve a line through your paddock in an afternoon. The question is whether it's still there after three winters. I grade the fall so water runs off instead of sitting, compact it so it holds, and set it in so the next big rain rolls straight past. Cut once, driven on for years.

The Property You Pictured

You bought this place for a reason. A dam that catches the run-off and sits full through summer. A house pad that's dead level and dry. An access road you can get the truck up in the wet without white knuckles. That's the quiet picture in your head, and that's the job. Not a hole and an invoice. The finished thing you wanted when you signed the papers.

Looks Like It Grew There

The best earthmoving doesn't look like earthmoving. Give it a season of grass and rain and a well-built dam looks like the land always held water there. A proper road follows the ground like it was poured by weather, not a machine. That's the mark of it done right. In a year you forget anyone was ever here with a dozer.

How We Work

Work With The Land, Not Against It

Careless operators fight the ground, cut against the fall and leave you with washouts and a scarred paddock. I read the contours first and build with them, so it holds.

STEP 01

Read The Land

I walk the ground before the machine moves. Where the water runs, where the clay sits, where the fall takes it. Get this wrong and everything after it fails.

STEP 02

Build It Right

Ten years on the Komatsu, working to your budget. Right material, proper compaction, grades that shed water. Done the way that lasts, not the way that's quick.

STEP 03

Like It Always Belonged

A track that drains, a pad that's dead level, a dam that holds. Give it a season and it looks like the land was always this way.

Common Questions

Fair Questions Before You Book

How do I know the track or dam won't fail in the wet?

That's the worry everyone's got, and fair enough. The ones that fail were built fast, against the fall, with no thought for where the water goes. I read the ground first, grade it to shed water and compact it properly. Built to hold, not just to look done on the day.

Are you going to wreck my paddock getting the machine in?

No. I work tidy and I'm efficient with my time on your place. The Komatsu D21-8A gets in where bigger gear can't, does the job and leaves. You won't find half the property churned up and ruts everywhere when I'm gone.

Can you work to a budget?

Yeah. Being able to work to a budget is a big part of what I do. We talk about what you actually need, I give you a straight price, and you know what you're up for before I start. No surprise blowouts halfway through.

How far do you travel?

I'm based out of Wolumla and cover the Bega Valley, around 80km out. If you're a bit further, give me a call anyway and we'll sort it out. Easier to work it out than guess.

About Us

G'day, I'm Brad

I run Broadford Earthmoving out of Wolumla and I've been at this ten years. Dams, access tracks, road rebuilds, house and shed cuts, property access. I run the Komatsu D21-8A myself, so when you book me, you get me on the machine, not some bloke I sent out.

Most of my work is hobby farmers, retirees and new landowners, people who've put real money into their place and want it done properly. I'm reliable, I'm efficient with my time, and I'll work to your budget. I recently rebuilt a 5km private road, so I'm set up for the big jobs as well as the small ones.

If you want someone who'll read your land, give you a straight price and build it to last, give me a call and we'll have a look together.
