Named for the work, not the personality.
I’m [owner name]. I’ve been digging trenches around Melbourne for [X] years. I started The Boring Guy after one too many good driveways got cut in half for a 50 mm conduit.
Most of what I do is small: a power run to a shed, a water line to the veggie patch, a bore under a path so the pavers stay put. Small jobs still deserve someone who checks first and cleans up after.
How I work.
-
Check twice, dig once.
Every job goes through Before You Dig Australia, and I locate on site before a machine touches the ground.
-
Price first.
You get a fixed price in writing before I start. If the ground surprises us, you hear about it before it costs you.
-
Leave it how I found it.
Trenches compacted, turf back down, spoil gone. You get photos of the run before it’s covered.
The gear.
Sized for backyards and side gates, not building sites.
