Get rid of some excess dirt and rubble

$10

Newton SA 5074, Australia

7th Dec 2025

I was looking to hire a kanga or get someone to move some dirt in my front yard that I need to get rid of. We don’t need to get rid of much, just digging down around 10-15cm across a 10x4m area at the front of our house. Very easy access as it’s just the front yard. Hopefully wouldn’t take long at all. We’d ideally like to move the excess into a trailer to take to the dump, or if you offer that service we’d like to get a price on that too. Happy to exchange phone numbers to discuss further.

Remove 1 Inch of Topsoil From Garden Path – 6m x 0.7m

$150

Fulham Gardens, South Australia

19th Jul 2025

I need someone to scrape and remove about 1 inch (approx 2.5cm) of topsoil from a garden pathway so I can lay some weed mat and fresh stones. The path is roughly 6 metres long and 0.7 metres wide. The job involves: • Scraping off the top layer of dirt evenly along the path • Removing and disposing of all soil and debris Important: • No paving or relaying is required – I’ll take care of that later. • Access is straightforward. • Must bring your own tools (shovel, wheelbarrow, etc.) and be able to remove the soil offsite. Please include your availability and confirm if you can take the soil away. Thanks!

Efficient and good execution.
