Mini excavator levelling and preparing a front yard for landscaping

Landscaping earthworks in Perth

Every good outdoor build starts with the ground. Site preparation, levelling and excavation set the levels, falls and drainage that decide how well the finished project performs.

Why preparation matters

Paving, lawns, walls and garden beds all rely on the work done before they go in. Poor levels cause pooling water, uneven surfaces and settling. Correct excavation and levelling prevent those problems and make the rest of the build run smoothly.

What earthworks can cover

Earthworks can include removing existing surfaces, excavating to depth, levelling and shaping the site, and preparing the base for paving, lawns and walls. On sloping or uneven sites, it also means planning how the land will be graded and how water will drain.

Because we also do the paving, retaining walls and lawns, the earthworks are planned around what is going on top of them.

One team from start to finish

Having the same team handle preparation and finishing means levels are set once and set correctly. It also saves you coordinating between separate trades.

Earthworks questions.

Do you do earthworks on their own or only as part of a build?

Earthworks are most often part of a landscaping or paving project. If you need preparation work only, get in touch with the details and we will let you know whether it is something we can take on.

Can you deal with a sloping block?

Sloping sites are common in Perth, and earthworks and retaining are often part of the answer. We assess the site and recommend how to level and support the ground.

Do you remove old paving, soil and rubble?

Removal can be included in your quote. Let us know what is on site and what needs to go, and we will cover it when we inspect.

Will earthworks fix drainage problems?

Setting correct levels and falls helps water move away from buildings and paving. Larger drainage issues depend on the site, so we assess them individually.
