About
Built Right. Done Properly. No More Boggy Messes.
At Grounded Company HQ, we know the frustration of living with poor access, soggy ground, uneven sections or concrete that looks like it was poured in a panic. Whether you’re trying to get a building consent signed off or just want your property to function the way it should, we’re here to help you fix it — properly.
We’re a Whanganui-based civil construction team that brings major project experience to your backyard. Our founder Matt started this company because he was tired of seeing homeowners get let down by contractors who cut corners or disappeared mid-job. Our crew is a mix of skilled operators and young workers we’re training up — all committed to delivering solid, reliable work with pride.
When you hire Grounded, you get:
*✔ Section levelling and site prep done right — so your build starts on solid ground
* ✔ Soil works and drainage to eliminate water issues, protect your investment, and prevent future headaches
* ✔ Driveways and vehicle crossings that look sharp and perform for years
* ✔ Concrete paths, slabs and accessways poured to the right grade, compacted, and finished properly
* ✔ Clear advice and communication — we’ll explain what’s needed and why
* ✔ Consent-ready work — we know what councils want and deliver work that meets the mark
Our approach is practical and honest:
1. We walk the site and listen to what you need
2. We spot the problems others miss
3. We offer smart, cost-effective solutions — no fluff, no up-sell
4. We turn up, do the job properly, and clean up after ourselves
We’re not just here to fix the symptoms — we’re here to solve the problem. Because you shouldn’t have to deal with ongoing puddles, uneven ground, or concrete that doesn’t last the season.
If you want the job done once, and done properly — we’re your team.

I phoned Matthew and was promptly rewarded with my 1 day job being done the next day. I was working and he kept me informed during the day and I was pleased with the result. A clean level site ready to be used. I can unreservedly recommend this company to do your work at an appropriate price and on time. A+ Reply: Thank you Sue.
