Need Bobcat to spread soil at Lilywood.
$100
QLD 4513, Australia
13th Aug 2026
Hi, I have excess soil onsite at my residential building site in Lilywood. Instead of removing it, I would like to have it spread and levelled around the block, without interfering with the builder’s upcoming work or site access. If there is any soil remaining, I would like it placed neatly near the alfresco side retaining wall, if suitable. I’m looking for someone with a small Bobcat or mini loader to complete this job. Could you please provide a fixed-price quote and let me know your availability? I can send photos of the site and soil if required. Thank you.

Earthworks in the backyard
$1,200
Woolloongabba QLD 4102, Australia
13th Aug 2026
The main priority is to level out a mound of dirt that is in the backyard leftover from a pool installation that we had done. My guess the pile is about 10-15 cubic metres. It is on the lowest level of the property shown in the attached photos. There are different levels to the property (1m drop each retaining wall) and there is a tight section past some steps. I think it is 1700mm at the post and 1400mm where the landing is in the photos. There is also a bit of a driveway as shown in the photos. The other items that we would like to get done, is to get ready for turf to be installed. We can do the final prep but just doing the bulks for us. Thinking it would require removal of say 50mm of the current ground and replace with a topsoil. - Top level (next to pool) - Take a slight cut to level out the land with any excess cut to go to the lower level. We have already removed the concrete that was there. - Lower level - distribute the soil pile across the lower level as best as possible. - Both levels - transfer undersoil turf from front of house to each level and distribute. We can get the soil and do any final levelling by hand. We are based at a private residence in Woolloongabba. Happy to do on an hourly rate

I need this soil to be popped into the backyard. If you have a wheel barrow that would be good, or its buckets. Not sure how many loads there would be on that bag. Need it to be done before Sunday if possible. Could take one person to 2.
Harry was fantastic! He arrived right on time and kept me updated with several messages beforehand, so I knew exactly when to expect him. He also checked what equipment was needed before arriving and worked incredibly hard helping me move a tonne of soil into the backyard. Harry was reliable, helpful and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely ask him to help me again and highly recommend him.
