Questions we
get asked

Straight answers, from the person who does the work. More of them on the insights pages

What areas do you cover?

Everything within roughly 30 km of Meadow Heights — Roxburgh Park, Craigieburn, Broadmeadows, Greenvale, Coolaroo, Dallas, Campbellfield, Glenroy, Fawkner, Sunbury, Epping, Tullamarine, Keilor, Gladstone Park, Essendon, Mickleham and Kalkallo. Bigger jobs are worth travelling further for, so call anyway.

How do you price a job?

Per job, from photos, usually the same day. Quotes are free. What moves the price is access width, how much material has to leave the site, what that material is, and how far the tip run is — explained in full in what land clearing costs. Tipping fees are inside the quoted price, not added afterwards.

How soon can you start?

Same-week starts are normal for standard suburban jobs, and we work seven days a week. Quotes generally come back the same day, so booking is rarely the slow part.

Are you insured?

Yes. Public liability insurance is current, and a certificate of currency can be emailed the same day for builders and property managers who need one on file before work starts.

Will the machine fit down the side of my house?

Usually. The 1.8 tonne excavator needs about a metre of clear width with its tracks retracted, so a standard side gate is normally enough. Measure the narrowest point along the whole path rather than the gate itself — a meter box or a downpipe halfway down the side is what actually stops a machine. There is a guide to measuring it.

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

Not if the work is outside and the access is clear. Plenty of jobs run off a phone call, a few photos and an unlocked gate. Photos of the finished site come through when it's done.
