Mini excavators & skid steers for Redland & Bayside
Red volcanic soil, bayside sand and semi-rural blocks on the edge of Moreton Bay.
The Redlands are known for the red soil that gives the area its name: rich, volcanic, easy to dig when moist and hard as brick in a dry spell. Cleveland, Victoria Point, Thornlands and Redland Bay mix established suburbs with the semi-rural blocks of Mount Cotton and Sheldon.
Ground
Red krasnozem on the plateau, clay and sand toward the bay, and sandstone on the ridges around Mount Cotton. Drainage matters near the water; access matters in the older bayside streets.
Typical jobs
Retaining walls and pool digs on sloping blocks, drainage and soakage, driveways and sheds on the acreage, and the market-garden and nursery work the Redlands are known for.
Machines that suit
The R13 PRO for tight bayside access, the R18 PRO for acreage and pools, and an RS06 skid steer for the nurseries. Delivery from Currumbin Waters is about an hour.
