Excavation & Earthworks Vineyard

Hawkesbury jobs range from a backyard pool to clearing ten acres, so cost comes down to the size of the block, the ground (loam and clay are quick, sandstone isn’t), how much fill or rock is involved and how far spoil has to go. Every job gets a written quote after a site look, with dig, clearing, cartage and cleanup spelled out.

Usually. Anything on a flood-affected or bushfire-rated lot, dams above a set size, clearing native vegetation, and cut and fill beyond set limits all go through Hawkesbury council as part of the DA or CDC. We work to the approved plans; check with your certifier before the dig is booked.

A house pad, dam clean or trench run is a day or two; clearing an acreage block or a rock cut on a ridge runs longer and depends on the block, the ground and the weather, which matters more out here than anywhere. Dates come with the quote, not after.

Rarely on the flats. Shale-clay on gently undulating ground with alluvial patches; new-release land. Shale bands are ripped rather than broken; the sandstone is on the ridges north and east of Wilberforce, not down here.

Yes, and it’s the most common Hawkesbury job. Regrowth, fence lines, stumps, house and shed pads and access tracks on rural blocks. Native vegetation rules and bushfire asset protection zones are checked before anything comes down.

Yes. New dams cut and shaped with a compacted wall, and existing dams cleaned out and deepened. Dams above a set capacity need council approval and some need a water licence, which we flag at the site look.

Yes. Rural driveways cut to grade, boxed out and based with road base, with drainage crossings where a gully or a dam overflow crosses the track. Length and ground decide the price.

Yes. Long rural runs for water, power, comms and drainage, dug to fall and backfilled in layers so the track above doesn’t sink. Services are located first even out here.
