Gravel stones moved from the driveway to the backyard

$150

Dinmore QLD, Australia

4th May 2026

Looking for someone reliable this afternoon to help move approx. 3 cubic metres of rocks/gravel from the driveway to the backyard. Access is straightforward, but the material will need to be moved by wheelbarrow or similar. Happy for you to use your own equipment if you have it (wheelbarrow, shovel etc.), otherwise I can provide basic tools. Would suit someone reasonably fit as it’s manual work, but it’s a simple job and can be knocked over in a couple of hours. Offering $150 for the job. Located in Dinmore and ideally looking for someone who can come this afternoon.

Finn did a great job, would highly recommend!
