Ploughman Excavations was established by Ross & Susan Ploughman on July 1st, 1988.

We’re proudly a family owned and operated company. Our decades long legacy is built on quality workmanship, professional service and a central focus on safety. Servicing the construction, civil and landscaping sectors, we take enormous pride in offering truly diverse skill-sets that are backed by a state of the art fleet and an extensive supplier network.

Having joined the business fulltime in 2016, eldest son Alex is the next generation to lead Ploughman Excavations, maintaining and delivering the core values and philosophies of the company that our clients have come to expect.

Our mantra of “Professionalism, Quality & Safety” represents the very core of who we are and how we approach every aspect of our operations.

Our rigorous standards and methodical approach uniquely position us to take on specialty, challenging and sensitive projects where the client seeks an outcome of the highest quality which will be delivered in a considered, safe and professional manner.

We’re commonly engaged for:

• Tight access excavation and working on inner urban sites

• Difficult terrain sites and challenging ground conditions

• Remediation projects & engineering-driven works

• Projects requiring full-scope delivery, including civil works, retaining walls, and other integrated elements.

• Works for Schools, including full compliance and safety monitoring.

Challenging sites and complex projects are what we do best.
