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.

Moving gravel for driveway and top soil to grass for levelling

I’ve had gravel and top soil delivered. Just needing someone to move it into piles so I can level it. Will need their own wheelbarrow Flexible on when. Hoping to be before the weekend
Ajay completed the job of moving gravel and dirt as requested. However, he unexpectedly arrived with his dog, which he allowed into my property without first checking if I was comfortable with this or if my own dog was friendly. This made me feel uneasy. While the task itself was carried out, I found the communication to be unusual at times and occasionally inappropriate.
