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.

How Our Excavation Works?
We believe every client should know exactly what to expect before excavation begins.
Every project starts with a site visit where we confirm measurements, assess access, inspect soil conditions and identify any underground services or potential challenges. We’ll also walk you through the excavation process and answer any questions before work begins.
Using the most suitable machinery for your property, our operators complete the excavation safely and efficiently while minimising disruption to the surrounding area.
Excavated material is loaded into trucks and removed from site unless it has been arranged to remain onsite for reuse. Where required, contaminated material is transported to licensed disposal facilities in accordance with Victorian regulations.
Before leaving site, we complete a final inspection to ensure the excavation has been carried out according to plan, leaving the area ready for builders, landscapers or other trades to begin work.
Why Melbourne Builders and Homeowners
Choose Hammer Excavations?
We Use the Right Machinery for the Job
Every site is different. Some properties have wide open access that allows us to use larger excavators, while others require compact machines to work through narrow side access.
Accurate Excavation That Keeps Your Project Moving
We excavate to the correct depths, levels and specifications so your builder, concreter or landscaper can begin the next stage without unnecessary delays or rework.
We Handle Soil Removal
Excavation doesn't stop once the digging is complete. We load and remove excavated soil, rock and spoil from site, transporting material to approved recycling or disposal facilities across Melbourne unless you'd like to retain it onsite.
More Than 20 Years of Practical Experience
Experience matters when you're dealing with changing soil conditions, underground services and restricted access. Having completed excavation projects throughout Melbourne for more than two decades, we understand how to plan each project safely while avoiding common issues that can delay construction.

Every project is different. Smaller residential excavations can often be completed within a day, while larger bulk excavation or commercial earthworks may take several days depending on site conditions and the amount of material being removed.
