What can you expect from an earthmover?
A construction or landscaping project can't be without reliable earthmoving contractors to help prepare the site and transport heavy material to and fro. Hire expert Taskers with the right expertise and equipment to make clearing land or shifting soil and rubble a hassle-free experience — no heavy lifting required on your end.
Here’s what to expect when you book earthmoving contractors on Airtasker:
Excavation and site preparation
Breaking ground on a new build or extension? Get skilled earthmoving contractors to handle everything you'll need, from digging out the foundations and basements to levelling the terrain. Proper excavation is crucial to make sure your construction project is a success, whether it's a small residential project or a large commercial site. Having experts on site ensures that your site preparation remains precise and efficient.
Soil and rubble removal
If you've accumulated piles of dirt, clay, or rubble, and they're left to clutter up your site, it's best to get Taskers to remove them for you and clear out the space. Shovelling it all by hand is a slow, back-breaking job — why endure when you can completely skip this? Instead, hire a professional earthmover to deal with construction waste, such as excess soil after a garden makeover or debris from a demolition job. Contractors will use specialised equipment to load, transport, and dispose of materials safely.
Trenching and drainage
Need to dig a trench for underground utilities, drainage pipes, or foundation footings? Avoid future issues like waterlogging or uneven ground by working with earthmoving contractors who can guarantee precision at every stage. They will create trenches to your exact specifications, observing proper grading and depth. From a small-scale job for residential drainage to a deep-cut trench for commercial infrastructure, the right contractor can get it done fuss-free.
Heavy material transport
Manually shifting heavy loads of materials like gravel or topsoil is exhausting and inefficient, especially for larger sites. By working with professional earthmovers, you can expect them to come equipped with the right machinery to handle bulk loads with minimal labour necessary. They can deliver fresh topsoil straight to your address for a garden project, or haul away construction debris.

Need help moving gravel from drive to back garden.
£100
Plumstead Common, Greater London
6th Apr 2025
I have around 400kg of gravel that needs moving from my drive to my back garden. The alley way between my house and garage is too narrow for a wheelbarrow. A wheelbarrow might possibly fit through the garage but there are then steps down to the back garden.


Ash is great, really easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Punctual and completed our job quicker than we would have thought (moving 400kg of gravel without a wheelbarrow!). Very tidy and polite. Would highly recommend and we’ll def be seeking Ash out for future jobs.

Digging and levelling soil to make ground even for 80sqm garden
£100
Hackney Wick, Greater London
11th Jun 2024
Hi I am looking for quotes from a physically strong labourer and gardener that can help me with a friend's garden which is approximately 80 square metres incluidng front and back garden.. The house is close to Hackney Wick. I will provide all the tools, sacks etc needed you will just come to the address to do the work. The person should be 1) strong and have experience of digging out topsoil 2) reliable 3) must have multiple good reviews 4) must provide a fair price It will probably take about 3 hours of digging and levelling which will involve removing the top 2 inches of soil with a spade and loading into sacks, laying down fresh soil using a piece of wood/fork/rake to compact and level the ground and measuring with a spirit level to make sure it's even. Please note I will be more likely to choose you if you meet my criteria above. If successful it could lead to future private work for more gardening help. Please ignore the budget and give your best price. The date is to be confirmed. Thanks Samad
