Cristian did an excellent job. After a very poor experience with a previous gardener, it was a real relief to work with Cristian — it honestly felt like a blessing that he took on this job. He was punctual, well organised, easy to communicate with, and very reliable. Most importantly, the quality of his work was excellent. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and would confidently recommend him.

Why hire an earthmover through Airtasker?
Moving large volumes of earth and rock is more than your regular spadework. It demands skill, savviness, and a heavy-duty kit — three things you can be certain about when you hire seasoned earthmovers on Airtasker.
Attempting to dig trenches, clear land, or even haul rubble by yourself can quickly turn into a mishap. You wouldn't want to be left with a botched job that could easily bring you to your knees in mud, construction delays, and hefty extra costs later down the line! Skip the headaches that come with flimsy DIYs and work with top-rated earthmoving contractors near you instead.
Simply post on Airtasker and quickly receive offers from expert earthmovers who can handle the heavy lifting without a hitch, from soil removal to large-scale excavation. Check past client reviews and compare quotes, so you can hire the perfect match — no cowboy builders, just proper professionals who know their onions.

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.

We got 5m3 soil delivered and need to move it to the backyard. It's a bit of a slope and has steps so the wheelbarrow will need to navigate up a couple of ramps.

Happy to negotiate on price depending on # people, time etc.

Job title: Move 5 m³ of soil & mulch from kerb to backyard – Riverstone I need someone to move approximately 5 m³ of landscaping material from the front/kerb of my property to the backyard in Riverstone NSW. Materials: * 2 m³ top-dressing soil * 1.5 m³ garden soil * 1.5 m³ pine bark mulch Access to the backyard is via the side of the house and includes around 7–8 steps, so a standard wheelbarrow may not be practical.

The materials will be delivered and left at the front of the property. Please quote a fixed price for labour and any equipment required to move all 5 m³ to the backyard.

Newtown VIC 3220, Australia

The task is to shovel fine gravel into a wheel barrow and move it to a trailer, wheel it up a ramp and tip in in the trailer. There would be 2 trailer loads. The trailer is then driven from Newtown to Highton, and wheel barrowed and dumper in the back yard. Wheelbarrow distances are all 30M. I would pay $40.00 per hour and I estimate the job wouold take 12 hours. I would pay an extra $120.00 if you could provide your own trailer. Weekend work is not a problem

Shift approx 1m3 of soil from side of house
$200
Brunswick VIC 3056, Australia
4th Sep 2026
I need someone to remove about 8cm of soil from down the side of my house and a small portion of the backyard area into a waiting skip (with a ramp). The path is 10m x 0.8m and there is just a small portion left of the backyard (indicated). I estimate it's about 1 cubic metre of soil all up that's all that will fit in the skip, hence that's your limit. I've started the job but due to an injury, can't complete it. I would say it would take a more able bodied person than me about 2-3 hours. All tools, wheelbarrow etc provided. Would like the work done either this weekend, or on Monday.
Great attitude and fast heavy work. Would definitely use Riviera again.
