Excavation Services We Offer in Berry

House & Site Levelling in Berry

Berry’s rolling blocks and semi-rural lots often require site levelling before anything else happens on site. Whether it’s for a home, shed or studio, proper cut and fill work helps prevent long-term structural issues. We work to your site plan and make sure the area is shaped, compacted and prepped so the next stage—be it concrete, piering or footings—goes ahead without delays.

Driveways in Berry also need strong foundations, especially with regular traffic and stormwater runoff to consider. We excavate and grade accessways for gravel, asphalt or concrete driveways and shape the fall to move water away from structures. Even on larger blocks, it’s the details—like depth, base and finish—that make a difference to how long your driveway holds up.

Retaining Walls in Berry

With Berry’s sloping blocks and landscaped yards, retaining walls are often a necessary part of the build. Getting the footing excavation right means your wall can stand up to pressure and time. We dig trenches to suit timber, concrete sleeper or masonry walls, working to structural drawings or builder specs where required.

It’s not just about digging a hole—it’s about shaping it to reduce wall lean, water pressure and soil movement. In Berry, we also grade behind the wall to assist with runoff, add drainage zones where needed, and backfill in layers to reduce the chance of cracking or bowing. Every site has its quirks—and we work with them, not against them.

Firebreaks in Berry

On the outskirts of Berry and into surrounding bushland, fire preparation is a major part of property maintenance. We cut firebreaks that reduce fuel loads and give emergency crews access in case of a fire. From boundary lines and fence edges to tracks around sheds and rural homes, firebreaks are shaped with safety and access in mind.

We also provide slashing services to handle tall grass, dense vegetation and seasonal growth. Slashing in Berry is ideal for open paddocks, driveways, fence lines and other areas where manual clearing is too time-consuming. Paired with break creation, it forms a more complete approach to fire hazard management without over-clearing or damaging topsoil.

Drainage in Berry

Heavy rain and uneven blocks in Berry often result in pooling, erosion or runoff heading in the wrong direction. We dig trenches for ag lines, stormwater pipes and spoon drains to redirect water away from buildings, gardens and high-use areas. With the right depth, grade and materials, we set up drainage systems that help protect your site from future damage.

We also excavate septic tank holes and prepare sites for pool installation. Both require precision, a solid base and careful planning—especially on uneven or tight-access properties around Berry. Whether it’s a new build or a replacement system, we shape every excavation to suit the tank or pool specs, ensuring the site is ready when the next contractor arrives.

Machinery in Berry

Berry jobs often vary from day to day—one week it’s digging trenches, the next it’s clearing a block for building. That’s why having the right earthmoving machinery matters. We supply wet hire excavators, bobcats, tippers, rollers and site dumpers with experienced operators who know how to work with Berry’s mix of terrain.

From one-off digs to multi-stage projects, our gear is ready to go and tailored to the task. We work with builders, landscapers, owner-builders and rural landowners across the region. Whether your site is sloped, sandy or soft from recent rain, we’ve got the machinery and attachments to handle it with minimal fuss and a tidy result.
