Excavation for landscaping projects
We carry out excavation as part of landscaping and outdoor construction work.
- Site cuts and levelling for lawns, paving and slabs
- Pool excavation and surrounds
- Footings and cuts for retaining walls
- Clearing and preparing overgrown or uneven areas
- Trenching for drainage and irrigation
Planning before digging
Before excavation starts, it is important to locate underground services. Dial Before You Dig is a free service that provides plans of known underground assets.
Access is also considered early. Narrow side passages, slopes and existing gardens influence which machinery can be used and where soil can be stockpiled or removed.
Peninsula ground conditions
Ground across the Mornington Peninsula ranges from sand to clay and, in places, rock. What is found below the surface can affect timing and cost, so we discuss the likely conditions and how they will be handled before work begins.
