Overview of our Excavation Services in Canberra

Our residential excavation services in Canberra and Queanbeyan cover three main areas.

Ground Levelling and Site Preparation

Many residential construction and landscaping projects require ground levelling and site preparation. We ensure that your site is levelled properly (to specification) and prepared for the next stage. We also take away the excess soil and organic matter (if required) – provided it can be accepted at an ACT Government Resource Management Centre or a licensed waste recycler.

Our excavation services in Canberra are suitable for the following projects:

  • Driveways and paths
  • Fences and gates
  • Garden sheds
  • Irrigation systems
  • Outdoor spas
  • Patios, decks and pergolas
  • Paved areas
  • Retaining walls
  • Turf laying
  • Water features and ponds
  • Water tanks

Excavation in Confined Spaces

Our excavation equipment is suitable for smaller blocks and most confined spaces. As excavation professionals in Canberra, we understand the hazards and challenges associated with excavation work in confined spaces. Being plumbers too, we also understand the positioning of stormwater and sewer pipes, as well as other utilities (eg. gas and electricity). Your safety is our priority during the excavation process.

Our excavation services in Canberra are suitable for the following “confined space” projects:

  • Outdoor spas
  • Paths
  • Patios, decks and pergolas
  • Paved areas

Soil Removal and Disposal

Many landscaping and small residential construction projects involve soil removal and disposal. Our excavation services in Canberra include soil removal and disposal – provided the soil can be accepted at an ACT Government Resource Management Centre or a licensed waste recycler. In the ACT, soil is classified as either virgin excavated natural material (VENM) or contaminated soil.*

* With respect to contaminated soil, please note that we only dispose of soil comminated by acceptable forms of organic matter.
