From a knock-down rebuild to a new estate pad, each service has its own page with the detail.
Cecil Hills sits about 33 kilometres south-west of the city. It's anchored by Cecil Hills shops, Western Sydney Parklands and Green Valley Creek. It's ringed by Green Valley, Abbotsbury, Hoxton Park, Bonnyrigg Heights and Horsley Park. What's changing: estate subdivision, bulk earthworks, detention basins and civil works, and pools and new-home site-cuts.
Most blocks in Cecil Hills, around Cecil Hills shops, are new-release estate homes on small lots, with ongoing land subdivision. Near Cecil Hills shops, duplex and unit sites cluster near the centres. Day to day around Green Valley that's bulk earthworks, site cuts and detention basin.
Cecil Hills sits on Wianamatta shale over reactive clay on the growth-release land, out toward Cecil Hills shops. The Cecil Hills blocks near Western Sydney Parklands are flat, so the fall is built into the pad and the trenches, and the fill goes in compacted. Around Abbotsbury, the clay is reactive, so fill goes in in compacted layers.
Cecil Hills is Liverpool City Council ground; with nothing flagged around Cecil Hills shops, the dig sits under the DA or CDC. The Cecil Hills crew comes in off Elizabeth Drive or Sextant Place.
Every job follows the same sequence, whether it's a single trench or a full site cut.
A trench can be a day, a basement can be weeks. Dates come with the quote, not after.

Every job gets a written quote after a site look, with the dig, cartage and cleanup spelled out, so you know what’s included before anything starts.
Usually, if the excavation is part of a build. Cut and fill beyond set limits, work near boundaries and anything on a lot with a flood, bushfire or heritage overlay needs approval as part of the DA or CDC. We work to the approved plans; check with your certifier before the dig is booked.
A trench, pool dig or single pad is a day or two; a knock-down site cut or a basement runs longer and depends on volume, ground and weather. Dates come with the quote, not after.
Rarely. Wianamatta shale over reactive clay on the growth-release land. Shale under the clay is ripped rather than broken. Real rock work is a North Shore and Eastern Suburbs problem, not a south-west one.
Yes, and across Liverpool and Fairfield it’s the most common job. The old house down, slab and footings out, the block stripped, and two pads cut and compacted to the engineer’s spec on the clay.
Yes. The Growth Area lots west of the M7 are a big part of the work: topsoil stripped, pad cut and compacted to the precinct spec, trenches for services, and spoil carted or balanced on site. Bulk earthworks on the release stages too.
Reactive clay. It swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, and anything poured on loose or uncompacted fill moves with it. A pad cut and filled in compacted layers to the engineer’s spec is what stops the new slab doing the same thing.
Yes. The old house down, slab and footings out, the block stripped and the new pad cut and compacted, as one run if you want the demolition handled too.
