Steep sections, tight access, tricky ground — D&R Works gets in, gets it done, and leaves it tidy. A 5-strong crew, led by Dan, start to finish.
Timber, block or gabion retaining built to hold — for driveways, boundaries and building platforms.
Steep, tight or awkward sections. If the gear can get near it, we can work it.
Site cuts, drainage, foundations and general digger work, done to spec.
Metal, fill and spoil moved in — and off-site rubbish moved out.
Plenty of contractors turn down the hard sites. D&R Works specialises in exactly those jobs — the ones with poor access, tight margins, or ground that needs careful handling.
As well as residential retaining and earthworks, D&R Works is a trusted subcontractor on larger civil and commercial projects across Nelson-Tasman.
Dan Silvanus has spent 15+ years on Nelson-Tasman earthworks and retaining sites, and now leads a crew of 5. You deal with Dan directly, from the first look to the last load off site — no handballing between contractors.
Big enough to take on commercial-scale work, small enough that you're not just a job number. Good gear, straight communication, and a site left tidy.
