Yardwork - moving topsoil

$480

Gordon ACT, Australia

2nd Oct 2024

We have about 3.5m3 of topsoil we need moved up to the back of our yard. We're almost finished doing it ourselves but have run out of time). We have a mini loader ('Kanga Kid') and 2 conveyor belts (hired). Basically, our yard is sloped and the top soil is at the front of the house. So, one person drives the mini loader to pick up the dirt and tip it onto the conveyor belt, it then falls onto the second conveyor belt and dirt falls into a wheelbarrow on the top level of the yard and that second person tips the dirt in piles where needed (would also be good to have it raked out but if there isn't enough time that's fine). See pics for how it's been working. We're about halfway done at the top level now so it should only take a couple of hours - max 3 hours. The conveyor belts were temporarily moved so they will need to be moved back so people will need to be able to lift 45kg each (the heaviest one is 90kg). Only thing you need to bring is your own gloves for pulling the dirt forward when it falls in the wheelbarrow) and to be able to operate a mini loader with relative ease. Not a hard of overly onerous job. Would prefer two people who are able to come to our place first thing tomorrow to get it finished in the morning but its a very late notice task so early afternoon is fine too. It's a straight forward and not too onerous task, but short notice and would like it done quickly so we're willing to pay $80/hr per person including fees. Priority is for people who can arrive here in the morning.

RV and his friend were fantastic. My husband and I ran out of time to do some yard work which was moving 3.5m3 of topsoil with a mini loader and 2 conveyors (sloped yard). They arrived on time in the morning and got it done. Recommend :)

Pretty easy job, I need this mushroom compost moved by wheelbarrow (which I have) to 2 locations. One front garden, one back garden. I also need 1 wheelbarrow of dirt moved from back to front. Access is up a ramp over this retaining wall.

All done as requested and on time. Sam sent a subcontractor, which I wasn’t expecting. Lovely guy. If you prefer to deal with airtaskers directly that’s something to be aware of.
