Coffs business starts digging up Lismore Rod likes getting himself into tight spots...

Rod’s Excavations has been operating for 5 years out of Coffs Harbour, and now he is offering his services to the 2480 postcode as Lismore gets another new business.


With a base and friends here, Rod didn’t find it hard to make the decision to help out after seeing so many houses boarded up and still in recovery.



“We don’t really hear how you things are going up here from Coffs, so when I saw that Lismore was still struggling, I thought about how I could help out.”


Rod has a rig that can fit into tight spaces, and with over 25 years experience driving plant, large and small, I assured him that his services here in Lismore will be very welcome!



“I have a couple of small excavators, and I do small tight access work. They are great where big machines can't get in. I've got all the attachments for the excavators to work in those tight access places, so drilling holes, trenches and so on.


“I can get into people's backyards and tidy them up. I can clear shrubs, gardens and make garden beds as well. A little bit of landscaping, retaining walls, drainage stuff like that. Backyard jobs are my cup of tea. 



“I can do bigger stuff a little bit of road works and driveways. If someone, especially people on split-level blocks, needs a bit of work done with gardens, retaining walls and driveways, I can come in and coordinate the whole package.”


Rod’s background is in a large piling company doing work all around Australia. But he loves this area of Australia, and wanted to spend more time here, so he started his business.



Rod likes the flexibility in working on smaller projects, also. He is able to split his time between existing customers in Coffs and new work up here, relocating north or south when the work calls for it.


You can see more of Rod’s handiwork on his Facebook page, or if you have heard enough, give him a call on 0407 647 847.
