Residential Excavation in Wollongong
Excavation is often the first stage of a larger property improvement project. A properly prepared site can help create a stronger base for landscaping, concrete, fencing, drainage and construction work.
HMG can help with:
● Preparing areas for new lawns and gardens
● Levelling uneven ground
● Digging for retaining-wall footings
● Preparing shed and slab areas
● Forming driveway and pathway bases
● Removing unwanted soil and rubble
● Preparing fence lines and gate entrances
● Clearing overgrown or unsuitable areas
We work carefully around homes, gardens, driveways, fences and other existing structures.
Trenching and Footing Excavation
We provide excavation for residential trenches and footings, including:
● Stormwater and drainage trenches
● Plumbing and electrical service trenches
● Concrete and slab footings
● Retaining-wall footings
● Fence posts and gate posts
● Irrigation and landscaping preparation
Before work begins, underground services should be identified and marked. We can discuss the site requirements with you and work around known services and existing structures wherever possible.
Site Preparation and Levelling
Uneven or poorly prepared ground can create problems during later stages of a project. Our excavation services can help establish suitable levels and remove excess material before construction or landscaping begins.
We prepare sites for:
● Concrete slabs
● Driveways
● Paths and paving
● Sheds
● Retaining walls
● Fences and gates
● Lawns and gardens
● Drainage improvements
● Small residential construction projects
Where required, we can also assist with loading and removing excavated material.
