About us
Family owned and operated since one backhoe started it all
Trading commenced in 1993 as Heath's Backhoe Hire. Operations began with just one backhoe; over the years the fleet grew to include backhoes, excavators, skid steers, tip trucks, float trucks and hydro-vacuum excavation trucks, and the name became Heath's Excavations.
Several family members and long-term employees who feel like part of the family. An exemplary safety record, worked to strict WPHS guidelines.
