Retaining walls, drainage, driveways, car parks, concrete slabs and rehabilitation. The structural backbone for your finished site.
Civil and structural works are what turn a raw site into a finished build. Drainage that actually works. Retaining walls that hold the line. Concrete that lasts. Driveways and car parks that look the part.
Apollo Earthworks delivers across all of it. From small residential retaining walls and driveways through to commercial car parks and council footpath rehabilitation, we have the equipment, the operators, and the know-how to get it done.
Working with builders, councils, civil contractors and developers across the greater Melbourne area, we sit at the structural end of the job and finish it properly.
Structural and finishing works to spec, by experienced operators across residential, commercial and council projects.
Concrete, masonry and timber retaining walls built to engineering specification. Practical, durable, and finished to look the part.
Stormwater, agi-drains, surface and subsoil drainage. We dig, lay and connect drainage systems that actually keep water moving where it should.
Base preparation, sub-base, drainage and finished surfaces for residential driveways and commercial car parks. Built to take the load.
Structural slabs, footpaths, kerbs and rehabilitation works. We pour, finish and rehabilitate concrete to a high standard.
Compliance, paperwork, ticketed crew. Apollo Earthworks brings the structure councils and developers expect.

Safe practices on every site
Civil scope - retaining walls, drainage, driveways, slabs - usually intersects engineers, surveyors, and inspectors. Apollo runs the program end-to-end so you have one number to call.
We walk site, read the engineer's drawings, check fall, drainage outlets, and access, then return a fixed itemised quote. If engineering documentation is missing for a wall, slab or drainage run, we flag it before we book.
Footings, wall toes, drainage trenches, and slab pads set out from engineer's pegs or surveyor marks. Dial Before You Dig confirmed before any blade goes in the ground. Spoil removed direct to tipper.
Crushed rock, sand or scoria placed and compacted to spec. Levels held to the millimetre because driveways and slabs that miss spec at base prep cost ten times more to fix at finish.
Formwork erected, reo placed to engineer's design, agi drain and sub-soil drainage installed where the scope calls for it, joints planned to spec. Inspector booked in if the job requires it before pour.
Concrete poured, screeded, floated, and finished to the spec on file - broom, exposed aggregate, or trowel. Curing managed properly so the slab holds strength. Retaining wall blocks or sleepers laid and pinned to engineering detail.
Wall backfilled and topsoiled, drainage covered and grassed where required, formwork stripped clean, site swept and cleared. Final inspection signed off if it is part of scope. Invoice itemised and issued the same week.
Civil works pricing across Melbourne sits on a wider band than excavation because the scope changes so much from wall to drain to slab. The drivers below are the ones we walk through with every client at quote stage.
Apollo's quotes are fixed and itemised so the structural, engineering, and finish costs are all clearly visible.
Concrete sleeper walls, masonry block, treated pine, and natural rock all sit at very different price points. Plain concrete is cheaper than exposed aggregate. Choosing the material early lets us hold price stable through to install.
Retaining walls over 1m and most structural slabs need engineer-certified drawings. Concrete crossovers and footpath works often need council Report and Consent. We coordinate the documentation but the third-party fees flow through to the client at cost.
A flat block is the cheapest civil scenario. Steep fall, reactive clay, rock seams, or wet ground all add to excavation hours and may need extra structural detail to keep the wall or slab true over time.
Agi drain behind a wall, stormwater connection to the legal point of discharge, sub-soil drainage, and pit and pipe systems each carry their own line-item cost. Drainage is one of the easiest items to cut for budget but almost always the dearest one to retrofit.
Exposed aggregate, decorative concrete, broom or plain finish all sit at different price points. Tighter tolerances on commercial slabs cost more in float work and curing time than residential standard. We quote against the spec, not the average.
Retaining walls, drainage and stormwater, driveways and car parks, and concrete slabs, structural works, footpaths and rehabilitation. We work with builders, civil contractors, councils, and owner builders across residential, commercial, and infrastructure jobs in Melbourne.
Most residential retaining walls fall between $250 and $700 per square metre installed, depending on height, material (concrete sleeper, masonry block, treated timber, rock), engineering, and access. Walls over 1m typically require engineering certification, which Apollo coordinates. Quotes are fixed after a site visit.
Yes. We install agricultural drains, stormwater connections, sub-soil drainage, pit and pipe systems, and grated trench drains. We coordinate with plumbers and engineers where required and back-fill, compact, and reinstate the surface above the run.
Yes. Apollo handles the full driveway and slab program: cut, base prep, formwork, reinforcement, pour, and finish. We work to engineer's specifications on structural slabs and to standard residential build standards on driveways. Exposed aggregate, broom, and plain finishes available.
Yes. Civil works almost always touch engineer drawings, surveyor set-out, and inspection points. We work to the documentation provided and book inspections where required. If you need a referral for an engineer or surveyor in Melbourne we can usually help.
Yes. Apollo carries full public liability insurance, all operators hold White Card and machine tickets, and SWMS documentation is provided for every civil job on request. Certificate of Currency available.
We attend site for a free quote within 24 to 48 hours. Booking typically locks in works within one to two weeks of quote acceptance for residential scope. Larger civil and commercial programs are scheduled around engineering and permits. Call 0431 560 908 for current availability.
Site cuts, basements, footings, trenching and final trim. Civil works almost always sit on top of earthworks - the dig has to be right before the wall or slab goes in.
Old slabs, walls, sheds and driveways cleared before new civil works start. Same machine on site moves from demo straight into the new build.
Tipper hire, material haulage, excavator and Posi-Track wet hire for builders running their own civil crew. Day or week rates, operator and fuel.
