If you ever need anything delivered or done Gary Z is the man that will do a great job. He is friendly, punctual, honest, reliable and a hard worker. Both me and my wife were extremely happy with the job that Gary did for us. Not only did he deliver 2 huge Agave Trees but he also helped us to put them in the ground as they each weigh about 100 kg each. We will definitely be using Gary again for all future jobs and we advise that you do so as well. Thank you Gary for your service. 11/10 stars from us.

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.

Earth Moving Work
$350
Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
18th Oct 2026
Please message me via AirTasker. Located in Berwick, looking for someone to assist with earth moving work. The rear of the property is on an angle, possibly 1.5m from one side of the back year to the next. I would like that area to be flattened so that it has 3 flat usable levels. I started doing this a few years ago though limited in time. See photos. While the backyard has room to move, access to the back yard is limited. The of the house is decked so you cant drive heavy machinery over it. There is enough room for a very small bob cat or hand operated machinery like a mini trencher. At a guess, the back yard might be 12m long by 3.5m deep.
