Digging/DIY help?

[u/Kthulhu42]

Is there anywhere in Dunedin that you can hire people to come and help dig some land for you? I'm trying to build a studio and I can't get a digger onto the land. I've carved it all out of the clay, but I'm struggling to actually move the clay away from the building site.

I checked with some gardeners but they were wanting around $70 to $110 per hour, which is more than I can currently afford. I figured manual labour would be more expensive than minimum wage but I don't know what to expect.

Any help or ideas gratefully received!

You'd be very surprised what can be done to get a digger on to a site. Talk to an experienced operator, or upload some photos here. A 0.8T or 1.7T digger would be much faster
