Earthmoving · Byron Bay

What the ground is like around Byron Bay.

Earthmoving is where a block becomes a site. Levels, drainage and where the spoil goes get decided here, and around Byron Bay the ground has opinions of its own.

Byron Bay runs from coastal sand behind the beaches to heavy clay on the hinterland slopes, sometimes in the same street. Beachside blocks are tight, hill blocks are steep, and Byron Shire Council has its own rules for anything that touches the road reserve.

Straight answers

Questions Greg gets asked.

Can you build a house pad on a sloping block?Yes. The cut is benched into the slope, the fill is placed and compacted in layers, and the drainage is put in so water runs around the pad rather than under it.
Do you take the spoil away?On tight and steep blocks the single axle 4WD tipper gets spoil out where a truck cannot. For bigger volumes Greg arranges the trucks as part of the job.
Do you dig dams?The 9 tonne excavator is the machine for dams and bulk earthworks. Talk the site and the catchment through with Greg before anything is dug.
