Advantage
GreenVac runs a compact, trailer-mounted hydrovac unit — not a massive rigid truck. This single difference changes what's possible on your site.
Fits Through Standard Gates
Access backyards, laneways, and residential sites that full-size rigs physically can't reach. No separate access prep needed.
No Traffic Management Required
No street closures, no traffic control plans, no permits. Set up and dig the same day.
Lower Overheads = Better Rates
No big truck to run, no office staff to pay. Lower operating costs mean competitive pricing without cutting corners.
One Number. You Talk to James.
