Dig and remove dirt

$500

Freshwater NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2025

I am planning to pave my back patio and would like someone to remove about 2m3 of dirt from my property to create a level area. The area is 10m3 and needs to be dug flat, removing about 40cm of soil at the highest point. Access is a little tight, dirt needs to go down the side. There is street parking but no driveway. See photos. We do have a small trolley you can use if needed. Ideally completed this weekend.

Ty was great! Quick, easy-going, and did a great job. Thanks :)

Remove sandbags on monday 10th march

$400

Cleveland QLD, Australia

7th Mar 2025

Remove 60 Sandbags. Normally filled (estimate each bag around 1/3 with sand ie. <20kg each) non-hessian bags 50 sandags are 30m away from driveway - first 10m carry - second 10m use a wheelbarrow (if you want) - final 10m carry (across artificial turf) (we didn't use a wheelbarrow and took 2 men 20 minutes with breaks) Take away and dispose. Unfortunately I have to travel away for work from Monday. Redlands city council 'If you are unable to store used sandbags or unsure if they are contaminated, these can be opened and sand scattered on lawns and gardens as topsoil, where it will not wash into stormwater drains.' The bags front a canal and are highly unlikely to be contaminated. non-contaminated Redlandc council 'If you are unable to store used sandbags or unsure if they are contaminated, these can be opened and sand scattered on lawns and gardens as topsoil, where it will not wash into stormwater drains.' For contaminated (will inform at the time but unlikely) then to recycling centre.

Fantastic Communications, prompt, polite and helpful, great outcome , 100% recommend.
