Efficient Ground Preparation for Structural Work

Good ground prep is key to long-lasting results, and when working with challenging terrain, rock drilling is often essential. It allows footings, piers, fencing posts, and retaining walls to be anchored securely into bedrock or hard subsoils.


Our drilling services are designed to suit a range of residential and commercial jobs, from backyards with rocky outcrops to large developments on sloped land. At Statham Group, we use heavy-duty drill bits designed for everything from fractured sandstone to compacted clay. We adapt our approach to suit your project’s location, soil type and structural needs, drilling precise holes to support engineered designs.


No over-excavating. No guesswork. Just fast, clean drilling that forms the foundation for safe, reliable structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of rock can be drilled?

    Most residential and commercial drilling jobs involve sandstone, granite, shale or compacted clay—all of which can be handled using industrial-grade augers and specialised drill heads. The specific drill type is chosen based on ground conditions, with flexibility to adapt on-site if mixed materials are encountered.

  • Is rock drilling noisy or disruptive?

    Drilling into rock is less invasive than many people expect. Professional drill rigs operate efficiently and target only the required boreholes, reducing mess and minimising impact on surrounding areas. Our equipment is selected for tight-access and built-up zones, making it suitable for residential and commercial sites alike.

  • Do I need council approval for rock drilling?

    Rock drilling itself generally doesn't require separate approval, but if it's part of a larger retaining wall or structural project, you may need permits, especially if the wall exceeds one metre in height or is close to boundaries. It's best to consult with your builder or a licensed contractor to check your local council’s requirements before work begins.
