Hands-on, from the ground up
R K Contracting is run by Rimu out of Port Motueka, working across Nelson, Tasman and Golden Bay. It is a hands on operation, so the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up and runs the machine.
The gear has been built up around the work this region actually needs. Excavators from 2.7 tonne up to 22 tonne, a fixed tooth heavy duty forestry mulcher for gorse and scrub, and a tractor mounted boom mower for hedges, banks, ditches and forestry roads. That range means we can take on a tight back section one week and a farm block the next without compromising on either.

Rimu
Owner and operatorRimu runs R K Contracting and operates the machines himself. He handles the quoting, the planning and the work, which means nothing gets lost between the person who priced the job and the person doing it.
Simple, honest, dependable
- Water is the whole gameMost of the damage we get called out to fix started as water going where it should not. We plan drainage into every job.
- The right size machineA big digger on a small job wrecks the ground. A small one on a big job costs you days. We match the machine to the work.
- Straight pricingSend a few photos or walk the site with us and you get an honest price, not a number that grows once we start.
- Tidy finishSpoil dealt with, tracks left driveable, gates shut. The site should be usable the day we pull off it.
- Any size jobA morning of trenching or a month of clearing. Small jobs are still worth doing properly.
- Genuinely localBased at Port Motueka and working this region every day, so we know the ground and the weather it gets.
