Hammer Excavations

Very impressed with Alex and team at Hammer Excavations. They were professional, quick to respond to queries, gave great advice on our backyard and the quality of their work was fantastic. We had a difficult site to work with, but Alex and his team knew what needed to be done to improve it and make it look amazing. Would highly recommend Hammer Excavations and will be calling them for our next project.

Melbourne Excavation Contractors for Projects of Every Size

Planning excavation work means considering more than just how much soil needs to be moved. Site access, ground conditions, underground services, spoil removal and the machinery required can all affect how efficiently the job is completed.

Hammer Excavations brings more than 20 years of practical earthmoving experience to projects across Melbourne. We work with homeowners, builders, landscapers and developers on everything from backyard excavation and site preparation to larger commercial earthworks.

With excavators ranging from approximately 1.8 to 20 tonnes, plus bobcats and trucks for grading and spoil removal, we can match the equipment to the site rather than trying to make one machine suit every job.

 

A family owned business with a passion for excavation and earth moving in Melbourne Vic, Hammer Excavations are more than your average earthmoving company, we genuinely take pride in our work and are more than happy to look at your next construction project.

Excavation Built Around Your Melbourne Site

No two excavation sites are the same. Access, soil, rock, overhead powerlines, driveways and underground services can all influence what machinery can safely and efficiently be used.

Hammer Excavations uses equipment ranging from approximately 1.8-tonne machines through to 20-tonne excavators, with bobcats and trucks available for grading, loading and spoil removal.

For restricted sites, access can sometimes be as narrow as approximately 700 mm in a straight line. Where access of around 2200 mm or more is available, larger machinery such as a 5-tonne excavator may be used, particularly where rock or heavier earthmoving is involved.

We also plan for spoil removal from the beginning of the job. Soil, rock and other excavated material can be transported to appropriate permitted disposal or treatment facilities, while reusable material may remain onsite when suitable.
