Hi all I have a client who needs to build up back yard with about 200m3 soil/sand but there's bugger all access for any machinery,maybe a stand on mini digger...there's villas on either side and maybe could remove a few of the colour bond fences to get truck in or near.does anyone know if there is a guy who can blow soil,etc from street with pipes such as they can with concrete in awkward spots?

What about blowing it? Costs a lot.

There are some 'narrow' access machines around (basically fit through a domestic doorway).
Have you considered a 'power wheelbarrow' / 'mini dumper', sometimes known as a muck-truck? (engine powered and tyred or tracked vers avail). Capacity is about 1/4-1/3m^3.
May not be viable for 200 m^3 -- depends what the 'sweat labour' costs and the timeframe.
