Excavation & EartHmoving

Trenching

Our trench digger is the machinery we use to dig drainage trenches around a house or create a trench drain for gravel driveways. The trenching cost is an investment in the safety and longevity of your build.

Auger Holes & Pier Holes

At Digking, we utilise our post hole auger digger and drill to expertly excavate according to your building plans. Concrete piers are a specialty to provide the solid foundation piers needed for any build. We use pier hole drilling and a pier hole digger to provide the pier footing required.

Land Clearing & Reshaping

Residential land clearing, whether it is clearing land that's overgrown or clearing trees on rural land, is where we have years of experience throughout the Yarra Valley and Melbourne. We work to shape the land ready for your vision.

Site Cuts

Our site preparation services are used across Melbourne. We have the excavation machinery and expertise to perform site grades and site cutting to prepare for construction with close attention to stability and safety.

Driveways

Whether you're looking for a crushed rock driveway or compacted gravel, we can help prepare the site through excavation, grading, edging and advice on how to achieve a driveway that looks great and performs well.

How much does excavation cost?

Excavation Cost

The first question on your list is no doubt how much earthworks cost. Our excavation prices depend on the scope of the works, including the complexity and machinery required. We provide obligation free quotes and work hard to offer competitive pricing.

Land Clearing Cost

The cost of clearing land depends greatly on the area to be cleared, which in the Yarra Valley may be acreage. A site visit is essential for us to quote based on the tree cover, terrain, ease of access, and removal.

Gravel Driveway Cost

The length, slope, and orientation of your driveway will inform us of the cost of excavation and preparation on your site. With our experience and advice, we provide recommendations with our quotes to help you achieve the best result.

Soil Cost Removal per m3

Wondering where to get rid of soil? Earth removal is a service we quote individually but as an indication the range begins at $30 per cubic metre. Speak to us about soil excavation and removal.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Vanessa and Mick
Just wanted to say thank you for doing such a great job of our driveway. We can't fault it. We were so pleased with how vou ran the job from start to finish, half the time we didn't even know you were here! You and Jesse are a delight to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. We were especially appreciative of your advice to remove the overhang of old concrete from the garage to create a seamless look. We would not hesitate to recommend vou and your team for any concrete work. Thanks again.
Stefan & Coral
Adam and his crew are true Tradies! They did an exposed aggregate concrete in a difficult area between our sheds and another big area around our pool. They levelled areas and falls with great detail. My husband and I are quite perfectionists. No job was too hard even though we changed plans a few times. They have great attitudes, punctual and easy to talk to, no hassles. We would certainly recommend them. Thanks again Adam for everything.
Romi
Adam was very obliging and completed our pathway efficiently with excellent results. The path inserted into our sloping brick driveway makes walking down much so much safer.

Melissa
We recently had our driveway concreted by Adam and Jack in exposed aggregate. From start to finish they were so accommodating and hard working. Adam was so responsive to any request and went above and bevond to ensure that we were happy with the job. He always listened to our thoughts and was happy to accommodate us when we changed our mind. No request was to difficult. These guys know what they are doing, work hard, listen and have a friendly demeanour. I highly recommend them and can't thank them enough!!

Adam is by far the most professional and neat tradesman I have ever had the pleasure of engaging. My job looks amazing and I will be recommending him to everyone I know!

Adam and his team did a great job on a new parking area for our cars and installation of a new drain on our existing concreted areas. Getting way less water flowing through the yard now.
Trace D.
We used DigKing for the foothpath around the house and our driveway - it looks exactly how we imagined it would. Adam is very responsive to emails and calls. He turned up when he said he would and finished the job when he said he would. Would highly recommend DigKing.
