Earth moving

Earth moving is shifting soil from where it is to where it needs to be: levelling a yard, cutting a pad, building up low ground or clearing a site.

About earth moving

Sloping blocks across the Gold Coast hinterland, Mt Tamborine and the Scenic Rim often need soil cut from one side and filled on another to make flat, usable ground.

We can plan the cut and fill so the soil you remove is used where you need it, which cuts the amount that has to leave the site.

From the job

Real jobs, real photos.

Before you start

Cut and fill balance

Soil you cut can be used as fill elsewhere on the site, so plan both together.

Retaining

Cut and fill often leaves a change in level that needs a retaining wall. We can build one.

Drainage

Finished levels should send water away from buildings and neighbours.
