Testimonial
Kia ora! We are absolutely pleased with RAW excavations and their professional clean work. Wiremu understood our waterlogging issues on the property and the need to input a drain to re-divert the water away from the house as we’re situated at the bottom of a hill. Understanding the water table on our property to allow the grounds to dry and of course the tidy work when completed was completed at a high calibre/standard. What makes this company so good to work with was the extra requests we threw in there to get rid of some giant pampas plants and clear a bit of pesky ginger – Wiremu had an easy to work with ‘can-do’ attitude with no worries at all and understood every request we made. We’ve just had our first big rain a day after the work is done and the property is not water logging at all – GREAT RESULTS! Thank you Wiremu & Amy we certainly will recommend you to anyone that needs the job done right!
