Dig out (and remove) 4.5m trench of bamboo roots

$250

Malvern East VIC, Australia

28th Oct 2024

Need help with removing the remaining 4.5meters of an 8metre trench (300mm wide) of three large clumps of bamboo roots. This will need to be done by hand as access is limited & only via our house (no external access), and we need the roots & debris removed; again this will need to be manually via tarps/bins by hand as access is via our house, so wheelbarrows aren’t an option. Equally, access to our unit front door is via a long driveway, with limited access for anything larger than a Ute. Happy to answer questions to help with bids!

Dig 2 trenches so i can then plant a row of trees for a hedge by myself. If you refer to the image, one fence will come down so it's still 2.you will not be required to plant any trees. I do not have a specific tool as such, so would ask you to provide. Unless just a shovel is needed, in which case I have Dimensions are roughly 7mx500mmx500mm for first trench and second trench is 20mx500mmx500mm

Very good worker who gets the job done. Conscientious, honest, genuine and thorough. Would highly recommend. If he doesn't respond quickly it's because he is so busy and engaged in his projects.

Dig a trench - 600mm

$200

Wattle Glen VIC, Australia

24th Mar 2024

I need someone to dig a trench 600mm deep, and about 3-4m long. I've already started on it but don't have time to finish before conduit is installed on Wednesday. The rock (pictured) will need to be broken up on the side a bit, as the trench needs to be slightly wider than where the rock is. Either that or dug underneath that side of the rock. Other than that should be pretty straight forward. Needs to be done by Tuesday night latest.

Great work, thanks a lot mate :)

Thomas was 10/10. He trimmed my 5m tall pittosporum hedge, then he dug a trench 6.5m long, 50cm wide, 50cm deep, to get my garden strip ready for planting Magnolias. He is hard-working, focused, and does a quality job. I didn't have ask him to correct his work because it was done right the first time. Pleasant demeanour, easy to discuss the work at hand.
