Reviews
c********1 (83 Sunday, 7 June 2020 )100% happy with the job, thanks Digger Dave. Excellent communication throughout, and the job was done just as we had planned with expert recommendations where needed. Would happily recommend. Thank you, Kate.
t****1 (43 Monday, 7 October 2019 )Dave recently removed a huge hedge that I had, he did such a fantastic job my old girl neighbor cried with delight at what he had achieved in such a short time. Fully recommend Dave for any work you may have.
d*******1 (310 Tuesday, 1 October 2019 )I texted Dave and he called me that morning, he surveyed the job and quoted it the same day. He then turned up dead on time the next day and completed the job on time without delay. This guy is the real deal and a bloody nice guy, I can't recommend him enough. Thanks again mate, much appreciated.
s********i (78 Tuesday, 24 September 2019 )100% Recommended, Dave has done the job nicely better than I'd expected, he finished it in a very short time frame even he's actually busy, he always try to think from your perspective and most importantly he only asks for a reasonable amount of money, even it's just a small job. I would definitely use Dave for all of my future relevant jobs.
t****1 (43 Thursday, 8 August 2019 )Dave is a champion, he came and tidied up a mess I had created with trees, dirt and rubbish. He left the property looking amazing and over delivered on what he said he would do.
c*******m (69 Tuesday, 23 July 2019 )Friendly professional and down to earth Guy. We recommend Dave to anyone wanting the job done right the first time. With many years of experience Dave had the job done and dusted in no time at all. Just got of the phone with him and we're getting him for additional work on our driveway here in west Auckland. Five gold stars from the Statham family.
a******r (31 Friday, 21 June 2019 )We had such a great experience with Dave doing our ground work for our subdivision. He knows his stuff, easy to deal with and gets the job done really well. Definitely will be using Digger Dave again when we next need site work done. Thanks Dave!
a*********1 (34 Tuesday, 11 June 2019 )Dave has been a vital asset to the progress of my multi house subdivision in Glendowie for the last month and going forward. I Would not hesitate to recommend him. He has a lot of knowledge and background in the industry making himself that extra bit helpful on site, great fella also.
r****6 (164 Thursday, 6 June 2019 )Dave’s got it all. He’s was on time, a skill full operator, helpful, friendly and value for money. Highly recommended. Thanks Dave
r******7 (156 Monday, 6 May 2019 )Dave did an amazing job for us. Infact, he did it while we were overseas. His communication was fantastic and the workmanship was of high quality. He is trustworthy and follows through with his promises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Dave for your work
d******m (1261 Sunday, 28 April 2019 )We highly recommend Dave! What we thought was going to be an impossible task of building a driveway Dave said "nothing's impossible" Within a day Dave with his 10 ton digger had a bank taken out & the earth moved to fill in a gully & a driveway was formed. With Daves contacts we were able to get all the materials we needed at a good rate. We used Dave & his bobcat to move & spread millings, he then compacted the drive. Dave's experience was invaluable & his work exceeded our expectations!
d**3 (159 Tuesday, 16 April 2019 )We had Dave and King on site for two days work to demolish an old deck, prepare the site for a new deck (post hole drilling, trenching for retaining etc) and scrape to a grade where paths would be placed. They worked tirelessly and performed all work to a high standard with great 'can do' attitude. Recommended and would use again !!
l***o (12 Friday, 15 March 2019 )I have reviewed before,and I am using Dave again at present.Hes awesome,so helpful,nothings a problem and he is so skilful with his machines.Well priced as well.Have no hesitation in using this man.cheers garth
s***i (447 Thursday, 14 March 2019 )Digger Dave's fans club just got a new member. What an awesome job! We engaged Dave for demolishing a house, garage & removing a concrete driveway. The job went ahead without a hitch, was completed in the given time frame. He did an excellent job, was very accommodating & kept us informed throughout the whole process, gave us some good advice regarding upcoming earthworks & retaining work. Highly recommend this honest, reliable hard working guy. Well done Dave & his team! Chandra & Smita

h******s (8 Saturday, 19 January 2019 )we employed Dave to dig out our driveway. The job went along without a hitch. I highly recommend Dave. Very committed. Pricing was fair. Dave's suggestions and advice along the way were genuinely helpful, and we certainly benefited from his skill and experience. Thanks Dave, your a scholar and a gentleman!
j*****5 (646 Wednesday, 16 January 2019 )It was encouraging to engage a contractor with all the correct equipment & to have him turn up on time. Dave not only completed all the original works (challenging site) but was able to assist in other requested works without any issues. At all times he was most helpful and went beyond the norm to assist. End job was stunning & will continue to use for other contracts. Very happy to highly recommend Dave & the team. Alan

l*******f (453 Friday, 31 August 2018 )Digger Dave came 3 times to do our garden earth works in Ellerslie. Difficult job with rocks. Dave was always good humoured, affordable, reasonable and helpful.

f*****w (235 Thursday, 1 February 2018 )We had Dave remove a concrete path, wall and a hedge. There was lots of volcanic rock to remove too which provided a challenge at times. Dave did a fantastic job and despite there being a bit more rock and concrete than he first thought he came in pretty much on quote and time. Definitely recommend using Dave. Top man. Cheers.
a***********e (6 Saturday, 27 January 2018 )I highly recommend Dave. Came and gave a price within a day. Job started and finished exactly when he said it would. Excellent, efficient and unlike most contractors he was fussy to ensure site was left very tidy. Dave is likeable ,friendly and great to deal with. I certainly will recommend Digger Dave to anyone. John.
k*****h (35 Thursday, 11 January 2018 )Dave is an awesome person with great service. He came out to my place and gave me a quote within a day straight back from holidays.

a*****o (53 Friday, 25 August 2017 )** A TRUE PROFESSIONAL ** Dave navigated his way around our very expensive Alpine Jurassic Schist Walls perfectly as he removed our old driveway and garden, as well as prepared the site for the new driveway to be laid. This included exposing all piping and conduit that was running through the area without causing any damage. I chose Dave because I had watched him demolish our former neighbour's house in an organised and tidy way. If you want anything excavating, DAVE'S YOUR GUY !!!
m*******n (115 Tuesday, 9 May 2017 )We have had Dave drilling holes for retaining walls, shifting earth, laying pipes and spreading topsoil. All these jobs have gone very well and Dave is a pleasure to have on site. We highly recommend Digger Dave & Jake.

t******n (794 Tuesday, 27 December 2016 )Dave helped me to plan a tricky bit of earth moving. Dave supplied me with some free fill to get the job done.
