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.

Labour needed
$200
Mulgrave VIC, Australia
29th Oct 2026
Hi, I've had 10m3 of top soil dumped and need labour to help spread it across my turf in both the backyard and front yard to help level the lawn. Unfortunately a bobcat won't fit through both the front and rear doors so a wheelbarrow and shovel is the way to go.
Move 2.5m³ Tuscan Stone Aggregate to Backyard Bed ​Task Description:
$260
Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
29th Oct 2026
​I need a fit worker/landscaper with their own equipment to move 2.5 cubic metres of 20mm Tuscan stone aggregate from my front driveway to my backyard garden bed. ​Job Details: ​Material: 2.5m³ of 20mm Tuscan stone aggregate (approx. 3.7 tonnes total weight). ​Wheeling Distance: ​28 metres from driveway to reach the left corner of the backyard. ​Up to an additional 10 metres along the backyard bed (overall wheelbarrow push is between 28m and 38m per load). ​Path Preparation: The side access path is covered with loose river pebbles. If you have any spare wooden planks or plywood offcuts in your ute/van, please bring them along to lay over the path for easier wheelbarrow rolling. ​Garden Bed Layout: ​The bed is raised behind a 30cm high masonry garden retaining wall. ​Stone needs to be tipped/dropped over the 30cm wall into the spaces between existing plants along the 16m bed. ​No spreading or leveling required. ​Equipment Required: ​Heavy-duty wheelbarrow (a wide, pneumatic tyre works best on pebbles) and a shovel. ​Any spare timber boards/offcuts you already own to protect/smooth the path (optional but helpful). ​Personal safety gear. ​Access: Clear side access path from front driveway to backyard.
​"Peter did a great job spreading the pebbles for us. He was quick, reliable, and got the job done efficiently. Highly recommend!"

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.
