Our Services
 

Local, quality quarry products for driveways and drainage solutions

You just want to pull into your property without worrying about boggy gateways, slippery driveways or just water where it shouldn’t be. And that’s just in winter. In summer there’s dust, ruts and erosion to deal with.

At Thomas Contracting & Civil we’ve got the gear and the know-how to get rid of the mud and dust for good. We use local products meaning you get a fast turnaround at a lower price.

Site preparation and earthworks

Uneven ground, access issues or drainage problems can quickly turn simple projects into expensive headaches.

As a small, local operator we can tailor our approach to suit your needs, whether you have a residential backyard or a large rural property. We can work with you, or your trades, on site cuts, tank and shed pads, drainage and levelling to set you up for the next step.

Concreting

From muddy entrances to your home or shed, messy parking areas or unfinished outdoor spaces, concrete is a low-maintenance way to transform your property.

If you need a garden path, a new pool surround, a slab for a shed or house, and anything in between, Thomas Contracting & Civil can help.

Fire season preparedness

Fires are a risk we all live with in the Ballarat area. And you know that keeping grass short, tree litter cleaned up, and gorse and bracken managed, are all key to making your property safer.

But on a rural property it can feel like a never-ending job of raking, mowing, spraying and burning. We can give you a hand.

We can slash, mulch, rip fire breaks and push vegetation into piles for easier burning. So, you can have a safer property and peace of mind this fire season.

Dam renovations and installations

As summer gets hotter and longer, water security is more and more important.

Getting the most out of your dam means water for your stock or garden, a water source for firefighting and added property value.

Thomas Contracting & Civil can put in a new dam, or renovate your existing one, giving you reliable water and one less problem to solve.

Equestrian facilities

Local, quality quarry products for driveways and drainage solutionsWell-drained and properly surfaced arenas, round yards, day yards aren’t just an investment in your property. They’re an investment in you and your horse’s safety and wellbeing.

You know the frustration of muddy, slippery work areas in winter, and the problems that rock-hard or uneven ground in summer can bring.

If you want safe, reliable and attractive facilities then give us a call. We can take care of sitecuts and fill, drainage solutions that last, base preparation and compaction.

Pasture renovations

Compacted soil, bare earth, and weeds everywhere. Sound familiar?

Fixing up your paddocks can feel like a tough job, particularly when most contractors won’t work on smaller properties. But that’s where we’re different.

Whether you need deep ripping, fertiliser and soil improvement, seeding, drainage, slashing and land contouring, we’d be happy to help. We can spray for you as well, but we’re confident we can get you results without it if you’re going chemical-free.

Note: We always recommend getting a soil test first for the best results.

Water cartage

When you need water, you usually need it quickly.

Whether it's the middle of summer, a new tank installation or simply topping up existing supplies, having a reliable source of delivered water means peace of mind when you need it most.

Thomas Contracting & Civil offers flexible water cartage services, delivering water where and when it's needed so you can keep your property running smoothly.
