Precision hydrovac, not bulk earthworks.

What We Do
Precision Hydro Excavation
Compact, purpose-built equipment for tight-access work where a bigger machine isn't the right fit — potholing, trenching, leak exposure, and precise digging in driveways, side passages, established gardens, and confined residential sites.
Utility Potholing
Precision potholing to verify the exact location and depth of underground services. We expose it carefully, you confirm the details before your crew moves in.
Learn more →Precision Trenching
Short, targeted hydrovac trenches where a full-size machine would mean too much disruption. Minimal footprint. Methodical work around existing services and surfaces.
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 trench cut carefully through a garden, along a path, or in a tight residential site, that's exactly what we're set up for.
Why GreenVac
We Do Precision.
We Do Precision.
Not Bulk Earthworks.
Most excavation operators want the big, easy jobs. GreenVac is set up for the opposite — tight sites where the standard approach means too much disruption: established gardens, side passages, work alongside live services, confined residential areas. That's the job we're built for.
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. Straight to James.
No dispatch, no call centre. Ring 0408 362 590 and you're dealing with James direct — and if he's out on the rig, he'll get back to you as soon as he can.

"Highly recommend James from Greenvac. I organised James to hydrovac around 2 water meter pits that were in highly compacted ground. James cleaned out the area perfectly and made my job 10 times easier. James was professional and does a professional job. I will be using James for all my future hydrovac projects."
