⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I posted a job to have my garden dug out and levelled, with very specific instructions on where the dirt was to be placed and how it needed to be piled, as well as a strict timeframe. Every expectation was met. Even though this was a small job, it was treated to a high standard from start to finish. Communication was clear, the work was done exactly as agreed, and everything was delivered on time. I can highly recommend Complete Civil, they stuck to their word and delivered!

Soil Removal Mission Bay, Auckland

5 stars!! The Little Projects Company gave me a fixed quote after a site visit, and completed the job exactly on schedule, to a very high standard, exceeding my expectations. Vumi’s skill with the digger was exceptional. He removed a lot of earth, took great care manoeuvring his truck & digger in a tight space, and created for me a perfectly flat, usable backyard. I am so grateful to Sarah and Vumi and highly recommend the Little Projects Company for this kind of work.

Garon has done an excellent job at our place under challenging circumstances, with great communication throughout the process from start to finish. He went absolutely above and beyond to make sure we were happy, which we are. Very! He also charged us exactly what he quoted despite the fact that unforeseen circumstances meant the job took a little longer than anticipated. We recommend G-Force to others. Thank you, Garon!
