Couldn’t have asked for a better tasker today! Nathan arrived in lightening speed after accepting the task and did such a great job. He brought a can-do attitude and was very nice to have in our home. He even gave me a bit of advice about plumbing issues we found in our new property which was most appreciated Highly recommend and will absolutely call on him for landscaping, labouring, plumbing or handy man work in the future. Thank you Nathan! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What can you expect from an earthmover?

A construction or landscaping project can't be without reliable earthmoving contractors to help prepare the site and transport heavy material to and fro. Hire expert Taskers with the right expertise and equipment to make clearing land or shifting soil and rubble a hassle-free experience — no heavy lifting required on your end.

Here’s what to expect when you book earthmoving contractors on Airtasker:

Excavation and site preparation

Breaking ground on a new build or extension? Get skilled earthmoving contractors to handle everything you'll need, from digging out the foundations and basements to levelling the terrain. Proper excavation is crucial to make sure your construction project is a success, whether it's a small residential project or a large commercial site. Having experts on site ensures that your site preparation remains precise and efficient.

Soil and rubble removal

If you've accumulated piles of dirt, clay, or rubble, and they're left to clutter up your site, it's best to get Taskers to remove them for you and clear out the space. Shovelling it all by hand is a slow, back-breaking job — why endure when you can completely skip this? Instead, hire a professional earthmover to deal with construction waste, such as excess soil after a garden makeover or debris from a demolition job. Contractors will use specialised equipment to load, transport, and dispose of materials safely.

Trenching and drainage

Need to dig a trench for underground utilities, drainage pipes, or foundation footings? Avoid future issues like waterlogging or uneven ground by working with earthmoving contractors who can guarantee precision at every stage. They will create trenches to your exact specifications, observing proper grading and depth. From a small-scale job for residential drainage to a deep-cut trench for commercial infrastructure, the right contractor can get it done fuss-free.

Heavy material transport

Manually shifting heavy loads of materials like gravel or topsoil is exhausting and inefficient, especially for larger sites. By working with professional earthmovers, you can expect them to come equipped with the right machinery to handle bulk loads with minimal labour necessary. They can deliver fresh topsoil straight to your address for a garden project, or haul away construction debris.

Hi! Looking for 1–2 reliable workers to move excavated soil/clay from a rear courtyard pit into a skip bin parked on the street. Job Details: Volume & Weight: 4 cubic metres loose material ~5.5-6 tonnes of soil, sand and clay). Estimated Loads: Approx. 130 to 150 wheelbarrow loads. Material State: Soil has already been dug up and shifted once—no heavy digging required, just shoveling into wheelbarrows and wheeling out. Access: side path with wide access. 30m to skip bin. No stairs, but half the dirt is still in the pit. Equipment: I have 1 wheelbarrow and one good shovel on site, but bringing a 2nd wheelbarrow /shovel is a massive plus! Timing: Thursday, August 6th. Looking to assign and lock this in quickly. Thanks!

Great communication, great team. Would task again :)
