EARTHMOVING MERMAID WATERS
Mermaid Waters is a sought-after canal-front and lake-side suburb in the heart of the Gold Coast. Sollid Solutions handles pool excavations, knockdown rebuild site cuts, and tight-access earthmoving across Mermaid Waters — including the canal-front blocks where access and water-table planning matter.
LOCAL GROUND CONDITIONS — MERMAID WATERS
Mermaid Waters sits on reclaimed sandy fill over clay, with high water tables on canal-edge blocks. Pool digs near the waterway almost always need dewatering. No rock — excavation is generally clean.
