Been out in Te Awanga getting these driven poles in for a new retaining wall.

She’s looking solid.

If you’ve got a wall that needs sorting, happy to come have a look.

Another pool dig ticked off☑️

Just me, the digger, and a few solid hours making sure everything’s bang-on for the installers.

If you’re thinking about putting a pool in, yell out — happy to pop over and take a look.

Hi guys , just had a local resident say they thought I was from Auckland. So here’s a little bit of history for you I was born in Hastings and have lived on farms in Crownthorpe,Mangatahi, and Wallingford in during the 80 & 90’s , Dairy farmed on new conversion farm at Hawkeston station in patoka mid to late 90s , my parents built a house behind the chook and Philly pub in maraekakaho while I went to Ireland on a farm relief exchange which I ended up staying for nearly 2 years driving jcb loaders and excavators,building effluent disposal ponds For pig farms and foundations for houses including all drainage and septic tanks , we expanded company while there and started doing complete subdivision with all services and prep for commercial subdivision’s
In year 2000 came home to Hastings and worked with Sherratt demolition , then started my own company in 2007
Since then I have been working alongside Chard drainage doing all drainage works on subdivisions and commercial development works and lots lots more.
I enjoy doing farm works and house sites in rural areas as love the challenge of making a prefect site to build a house etc,
In 2018 my wife Megan and I purchased and built a house in Rays Rd Raukawa on a lifestyle block for us and our 3 teenage boys to enjoy.
I chose to stay a small company and drive diggers and other machines myself to make sure I do quality work and customer is satisfied .
Love to be a Hawke’s Bay local and hope my boys can do the same
Thanks Jonny Meads Earthworks
