Mini excavators & skid steers for Central Gold Coast
Canal estates on sand, hinterland foothills on clay, and a lot of pool and landscaping work.
Robina, Varsity Lakes, Burleigh Waters, Mudgeeraba and Merrimac are the middle of the Coast: master-planned estates on reclaimed sand and canal fill, backing onto the foothills where the ground turns to clay and rock.
Ground
Sand and dredged fill on the canal estates, which dig easily but slump; grey clay and sandstone at Mudgeeraba, Bonogin and Tallai. Water tables are high near the canals.
Typical jobs
Pool digs and landscaping on the estates, retaining walls and driveway cuts in the foothills, drainage on the flats.
Machines that suit
The R15 for the estates, the R18 PRO for the foothills, and an RS04 or RS06 skid steer for sand and mulch. The warehouse at Currumbin Waters is 15 to 25 minutes away.
