The professionals Canberra trusts
Every block is different. Soil conditions, slopes, trees, and access points all play a role in how excavation should be managed. At Groundworx, we blend expertise with specialised machinery to ensure sites are meticulously prepared, surrounding areas are safeguarded, and a pristine base is established for the next phase of work.
Our expertise lies exclusively in residential excavation. Whether you're looking to dig for a pool, sculpt your yard, or lay the groundwork for a new slab, we deliver results customised to enhance your home.
Residential excavation services
We provide a full range of excavation solutions for Canberra homes, including:
Swimming pools need precise, carefully measured excavation to ensure depth, shape, and stability. We dig cleanly and protect surrounding landscaping, fences, and structures so your site is ready for construction without extra hassle.
Detailed excavation is about accuracy in tight or complex spaces. We handle careful digging around utilities, foundations, and existing features where precision is essential.
Trenches are critical for drainage systems, pipes, and cables. We dig straight, uniform trenches that meet the required depth and width, keeping the work neat and ready for installation
Basements require stable, reinforced excavation that takes soil type and load into account. We dig carefully to create safe, solid bases for new basement structures.
Stormwater pits, septic tanks, and service pits all require careful excavation for correct placement and drainage. We prepare the ground accurately so your systems work as intended.
From soil removal to reshaping a block, we handle earthmoving that prepares your site for building or landscaping. The result is a level, usable surface that’s ready for the next stage.
Proper site cuts are essential for slabs, driveways, and retaining walls. We cut and level the ground to the exact height and slope required for stable construction.
Tree and stump removal opens up your yard for new work while reducing future risks to foundations and drains. We clear trees safely, leaving the site ready for the next step.
Hard rock can make digging difficult, but we have the tools and experience to break and remove it. We clear rocks efficiently, keeping the site stable and usable.
Waste and debris can hold up progress on any site. We clear and dispose of rubbish as part of excavation, leaving your space clean and construction-ready.
Before new work begins, old concrete, paving, or surfaces often need to be removed. We carry out strip-outs quickly and cleanly, so the area is prepared for fresh construction.
The Groundworx approach to excavation
Site assessment first
Every job begins with a clear understanding of the site. We check the soil type, slope, drainage, and access to ensure the excavation is planned safely and efficiently.
Right equipment for the job
We match the machinery to the site conditions. From tight-access mini excavators to heavy-duty earthmovers, we bring the right tools to keep the work precise and under control.
Safe and precise work
Excavation is carried out with care to avoid damage to nearby homes, fences, or underground services. We follow proper safety measures while keeping the job on track.
Clean and ready finish
Once the digging is complete, we don’t leave a mess behind. The site is cleared, levelled, and prepared so the next stage of construction can begin without delays.
