Residential Landscaping
There are no straight lines in nature, and residential earthworks should follow the same principle. At Peak Earth Shaping, we shape residential sites with this understanding: preparing and refining land so homes, driveways, and outdoor spaces sit naturally, drain correctly, and feel grounded in their surroundings.
Shaping Residential Sites across Central Otago
We work directly from plans or shape freely on site, using precise earthworks and freestyle sculpting techniques to deliver a high-quality, enduring finish. Our role is to manage levels, access, and water early, ensuring the ground supports the build process and performs long after construction is complete.
House Platforms, Decks, Pools
Site excavation and preparation for house platforms, decks, pools, and retaining structures, shaped for stability, access, and long-term performance.
Driveways, Paving, Access
Driveway construction, paving, flagstone steps, post-hole drilling, and laser levelling for clean access and durable surfaces.
Banks, Berms, Landforms
Mounding, berm shaping, lawn preparation, stacked stone walls, gabion baskets, and tree removal to stabilise and define the landscape.
Water, Septic and Drainage
Drainage systems, soak pits, trenching, and excavation for water and septic tanks — integrated to manage runoff and ground conditions effectively.
Our Residential Earthworks Approach
Every site comes with its own ground conditions, levels, and water challenges. We assess the land, manage drainage, and shape the ground so buildings, driveways, and outdoor areas are stable, practical, and built to last. Our focus is on getting the fundamentals right — levels, access, and water — so the site is ready for construction and performs properly over time.
