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.

12th Feb 2025

We have a delivery of 2m3 of soil improver coming on Thursday morning and would love some help with the physical work of shovelling the soil into wheelbarrows and wheeling the barrows around the back to deposit the soil on a roughly 8x4m area to prepare for a new lawn. The side access is level for about 20m then down a ramp to the back yard. We have barrows and shovels. While I could do it myself, I would love the help of a strong, fit person to help with this task. The lawn arrives on Friday, so that leaves Thursday afternoon to move the soil into place. Let me know if you would like to help and if you have any questions. Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Clear and professional, hard working.
