What We Do
Earthworks services we offer across Melbourne.
As a full-service excavation contractor, we handle everything from residential site cuts to multi-week commercial digs. Every job quoted fixed, every operator ticketed, every site left clean.
Site Cuts
Level and prep your block to engineer's spec, ready for slab pour. Most residential cuts wrap in one to three days with full tipper haulage included.
Bulk Excavation
Basements, pools, large-volume digs and commercial site preparation. Up to 30T excavators on site, paired with our own tipper fleet for fast spoil removal.
Basements & Footings
Tight-access excavation alongside existing structures. We work in around concreters and trades so other crews aren't held up waiting on the dig.
Trenching & Drainage
Stormwater, agi drains, and services trenching cut to plan. Backfilled, compacted, and inspected before the trench is closed.
Rock Breaking
Hydraulic hammer attachments for hard ground, basalt, and rocky Melbourne lots. We assess on-site and fix-quote so rock doesn't blow your budget.
Wet Hire
Excavator and Posi-Track wet hire by the day or week. Operator, fuel, and float transport all included - perfect for builders who need short-term capacity.
Tough work. Done right.
Melbourne builders call Apollo back because jobs run on time, sites are left clean, and quotes don't blow out.

Questions
Frequently asked.
What areas of Melbourne do you service for earthworks?
Apollo Earthworks services Eastern Melbourne, South East Melbourne, and the Mornington Peninsula. Our yard is based in Mount Waverley and we travel throughout the eastern and south eastern suburbs daily.
How much does a site cut cost in Melbourne?
Site cut pricing depends on the volume of material to be removed, site access, soil type, and whether tipping is included. Most residential site cuts fall between $3,000 and $15,000. We provide fixed quotes after a free on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
How long does a typical earthworks job take?
A standard residential site cut usually takes one to three days. Bulk excavation for basements or larger commercial sites can take one to three weeks. We confirm exact timelines with each quote and commit to the dates we book.
Do you supply your own machinery and operators?
Yes. We run a modern fleet of excavators from 1.7T to 30T, skid steers, tandem tippers, rock breakers, and compaction equipment. Every machine on site is operated by a ticketed, experienced operator.
Do you work on residential and commercial projects?
Both. We work with owner builders, residential builders, developers, civil contractors, concreters, landscapers, and plumbers across residential, commercial, and civil projects. No job is too small or too large.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Apollo Earthworks is fully insured, OH&S compliant, and all operators hold current White Card and machine tickets. SWMS documentation is available on request for every site.
Can I hire an excavator with an operator (wet hire)?
Yes. We offer excavator and Posi-Track wet hire by the day or week, including operator, fuel, and transport. This suits builders and contractors who need short-term capacity without running their own fleet.
How quickly can you start?
For most residential jobs we can attend site for a quote within 24 to 48 hours and book works within one to two weeks of acceptance. Urgent jobs can often be accommodated sooner. Call 0431 560 908 to check current availability.
