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.

Move dirt (about 5 m3)
$600
Mitcham VIC 3132, Australia
7th Oct 2025
I am replanting our front yard and the dirt is garbage, and I want to raise a section of the back yard, so I want the front yard dirt dug up and moved to back yard. Front yard is 3 sections of 14, 6 and 1 sqm, so 21sqm total. Ideally I'd like to go down 25cm, so that's about 5 cubic meters. Distance to backyard is 30m downhill. Dirt seems to have a lot of building rubble in it and some clay underneath, so isn't easy to dig. I am getting a retaining wall built in the backyard, so the job can't go ahead until that's done, but just getting prepared.
break up large boulder / rock - jackhammer?
$250
The Basin, Victoria
6th Oct 2025
Large boulder at the end of my driveway . Need it moved or broken up so I can level out this area. Ok for it to be moved just a few metres up the hill (where the wheelbarrow is behind the red bin in the photos) or broken up. Whatever is doable for you! Photos from my driveway access which is steep but doable. Boulder is approximately 5ftx3ft and unknown depth but my guess based off other rocks in the area is that it’s 2ft-5ft Let me know if this is the job for you! Thanks
Excellent with the excavator! Did a great job. Very happy. Took care to clean up and make it look nice. Thanks very much.
