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.

Plumbers have carried out some digging, leaving a pile of soil on the lawn and pavement.

Pavement area: Remove soil to a depth of 100 mm below pavement level, and transfer the excess soil to the same pile at the front. Pavers: Collect the loose pavers scattered around the site, as well as those in the existing pile on the lawn, and stack them neatly in the same lawn area. Allow for a full day of manual, labour-intensive work, starting from 7 Am. This needs to be done on Wednesday, Nov 5th. I can provide wheel barrow and showel.
