Garwood Earthmovers commenced work in the Strathalbyn district in the 1940's, as a small family business run by Herbet Garwood who began contracting to local people and government departments with a pick and shovel, horse and cart. A steadily expanding business becoming increasingly mechanised able to service new interest including agriculture and quarrying. The business now in the control of Graham and his son David is still continuing to grow and diversify with movement into vineyard development with the booming wine indusrty. Gardwood Earthmovers as a small business has always been able to remain viable by virtue of its ability to carry out a wide range ans size of jobs. We continue to operate our own local quarry to provide quarry products for our own business interest as well as supplying other contractors and landscapers with quarry rubble, paving sand, decorative gravels and filling sand. Mini mix concrete is also supplied to fill a gap in the market. Our plant list includes bulldozers, scrapers, garders, excavators, bobcats, backhoe, roller, tip truck and trailers, machinery float, loaders, water cart and rockbreakers. |
