“There is no way anyone can do what Nathan can do in a day with his digger! The cost is “x” but the results are “y+”! said a very happy customer.
If you require any references from happy customers we can give you these. We know you won’t be disappointed in a job well done.

Nathan suggested to a client that he felt it would be beneficial to use a Winch-Assist machine on the farm. This would allow for extra stump-grinding & raking to really bring more land back to it’s full usage and the owner hesitated due to the costs and feeling it was beyond what they needed . However, they quickly found out that Nathan’s productivity surpassed the cost and the end result was very pleasing for all.

We also take safety as the most paramount thing in our business. We have a very extensive Health & Safety Manual, do Site Safe Specific Plans for each job, which we email to you before we begin. Nathan also uses his Work-Alone unit daily which is connected via satellite to Auckland where they monitor him throughout the day.

We are more than happy to supply free estimates for your potential job so please phone Nathan on 0275522980 to discuss your job, however, if he doesn’t answer please feel free to email us on info@palmerearthmoving.co.nz and we will answer you when he gets home.

So Welcome to Palmer Earthmoving I hope we can help you soon.
