Precision hydrovac, not bulk earthworks.
No room for a digger? That's where we come in. Narrow paths, garden beds, poolside, under retaining walls, alongside pavers — our compact hydrovac rig gets into the spots where normal excavation equipment can't go, and pulls out exactly what's needed. Nothing more.

What We Do
Precision Hydro Excavation
We do the jobs that need to be done without wrecking everything around them — potholing, tight access digging, leak exposure, and trench work in the spaces where conventional excavators can't operate.
Utility Potholing
Precision potholing to verify the exact location and depth of underground services. We expose it, you confirm it — no guesswork, no damage claims.
Learn more →Precision Trenching
Short, targeted hydrovac trenches where a full-size machine would cause more damage than it's worth. Minimal surface disruption. Existing infrastructure stays intact.
Learn more →Leak Detection Support
Precision excavation around suspected leak points. Exposes pipes without damaging surrounding infrastructure or landscaping.
Learn more →Pit & Cattle Grid Cleaning
Clearing sludge, debris, and sediment from cattle grids, service pits, culverts, and stormwater systems.
Learn more →Tight Access Excavation
Narrow paths, garden beds, poolside, under retaining walls, alongside pavers — if there's no room for a digger, there's room for us. This is what we do.

Not sure if we're the right fit? Here's the short version.
We don't do large-scale earthmoving — we do precision. If you need a narrow, deep trench dug cleanly without wrecking the garden, the path, or the fence, call us. That's exactly the kind of trenching we're built for.
Why GreenVac
We Do Precision.
We Do Precision.
Not Bulk Earthworks.
Most excavation operators want the big, easy jobs. GreenVac is built for the opposite — the spots that need careful, targeted digging where careless work means damaged gardens, cracked pavers, or wrecked retaining walls. That's not a limitation. It's the niche.
Into Spots No Digger Can Reach
Narrow paths, garden beds, poolside, under retaining walls, alongside pavers — if a full-size machine can't get there without causing damage, call us.
Minimal Spoil. No Skip Bins.
Hydrovac pulls out exactly what's needed — nothing more. No excess spoil, no skip bin hire, no tip runs, no cleanup costs after the job. The precision is built into how the equipment works.
No Street Closures. No Delays.
No traffic control plans, no permits, no waiting on approvals. We set up and dig the same day. One call and it's sorted.
One Number. Someone Always Answers.
No dispatch, no callbacks. Ring 0408 362 590 and you'll get straight through. Every job, every time.

"Highly recommend James from Greenvac. I organised James to hydrovac around 2 water meter pits that were in highly compacted ground.
