About the company

Dirt Cheap is a family business that has provided landscaping products and services since 2007. It was founded by Camilo and Tammy after they worked in the construction industry. The company is a member of the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce and supports the #buylocalgladstone campaign.

Dirt Cheap won the Best In Business Award for Best Retail Under 10 Staff in 2016 and 2019, and Jodi Dyer won the Best Individual Customer Service Award in 2019. It later branched into earthmoving equipment hire, offering trucks and excavators for wet hire and gardening equipment for dry hire. Its licensed operators work on projects from small residential jobs to commercial developments. Dirt Cheap supplies landscaping materials including soils, sands, rocks and gravel.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

From first contact through to delivery and completion, the experience reported by customers of this Gladstone earth works and landscaping supply business is described as straightforward and helpful. Several reviewers highlight Camilo, the owner, for his depth of knowledge and readiness to share it, with one household recalling an after-hours visit that produced cost-effective advice on their property. A recurring theme is the flexibility of the team, who accommodate special requests such as a custom blended garden mix prepared on the spot, and who rearranged deliveries to fit in loads at very short notice.

Friendly service and fair value come up often, with soil, sand and gravel products described as quality material at reasonable prices. Reviewers mention sound guidance on material selection and a no-fuss approach that carries projects through to completion. Multiple deliveries are handled without drama, orders arrive as promised, and the mix supplied suits the task. Camilo is singled out for a humble, respectful and solution-focused manner, and the range of supplies, from blended garden mixes to bulk loads, is a point raised frequently. Keith and Clare were among those who returned after an initial job.

This guy is the worst person I have ever dealt with in the service industry. I ordered a load of material from him over a week in advance just to be told I couldn't have it when I went to pay for it the day before I needed it. He didn't care that I had machines arranged and needed that material, he didn't even want to help me with suggesting someone else that could supply me. I found him ignorant and unhelpful. Do not trust this company.

I have had Camilo help with several projects on my acreage over many years now. He’s a great source of advice, a very skilled operator, and a pleasure to deal with. Even when I have had a machine myself, I still get Camilo in with his machines because he is so much more efficient , does a neater and superior job and represents real value for money.

Camilo, owner of Dirt Cheap has an exceptional attitude. He visited our property after hours (after sunset) and provided us with excellent advice, which was cost effective. His wealth of knowledge and experience is incredible, whilst Camilo is humble and wants the best for his clients. He is a good listener, kind, respectful, and is solution focused. Without hesitation, my husband and I highly recommend Camilo, Dirt Cheap. Keith and Clare, Gladstone.
