Precision Performance
Where Space is Limited
Precision landscaping often requires heavy-duty work in established environments.
The Zoomlion ZE18GU is a 1.8-ton compact excavator designed specifically to bridge the gap between manual labour and large-scale machinery.
Zero-Tail Swing
Operate safely alongside walls and fences without risk of structural damage.
Retractable Undercarriage
Narrows to under 1 metre to pass through standard garden gates.
Certified Operator Included
Skilled professionals trained for high-value landscaped environments.
WHAT WE CAN DO
From Infrastructure to Installation
Streamline complex tasks that would otherwise require days of manual labour.
From residential garden renovations to commercial earthworks, cabling conduits and solar foundations — our compact excavator works where full-size machines simply can't.
RESIDENTIAL & LANDSCAPING
COMMERCIAL & INFRASTRUCTURE
Residential & Landscaping
IRRIGATION TRENCHING
Deep, clean trenches for irrigation pipe installation — minimal surface disruption. Ideal for drip and spray systems across large gardens and estates.
LARGE-SCALE PLANTING
Create precisely sized holes for mature trees, hedging rows, or mass planting programmes at a fraction of the time and cost of manual labour.
POST-HOLES & FOUNDATIONS
Perfect holes for pergola posts, fence lines, retaining wall footings and garden structures — with auger attachment for clean, uniform bores.
DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS
Install French drains, soakaways and stormwater channels without destroying your garden. Compact footprint protects established landscaping.
EARTH MOVING & LEVELLING
Shape contours, level sites for lawn installation, create berms or reshape garden spaces with precision dozer blade control.
STUMP & ROOT REMOVAL
Remove stubborn stumps and deep root systems efficiently — without manual digging or expensive equipment damaging surrounding areas.
Commercial & Infrastructure
CABLING & CONDUIT TRENCHING
Precise, narrow trenches for electrical cabling, fibre optic runs, data conduits and underground power lines — clean excavation that minimises reinstatement work.
SOLAR PANEL SUPPORT & FOUNDATIONS
Bore and trench for solar array mounting poles, battery enclosure footings and DC cabling conduits on farms, wine estates and commercial properties.
STRUCTURAL POST INSTALLATION
Auger holes for carport posts, security fencing, palisade and palisade-panel fencing, entrance gates, boom gates and commercial signage foundations.
MEDIUM-SIZE PIPE TRENCHING
Trenching for medium-diameter water supply, sewer and pressure pipes on commercial and agricultural sites — consistent depth and profile for compliant installation.
COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING
Earthworks for commercial property landscaping — business parks, wine estates, hotels, retirement villages and sectional title developments across the Boland.
AGRICULTURAL & FARM SUPPORT
Irrigation mainline trenching, orchard planting holes, vineyard drainage, dam maintenance and stock-water pipeline installation on farms throughout the Winelands.
