What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Joel, the excavator operator named throughout accounts of this Hobart business, is described as arriving on schedule, keeping clients informed at every stage and accurately reading what each project required. Shaping steeply sloping backyards, preparing ground for retaining walls and terracing, clearing scrub, cutting grass around gum trees, and excavating and laying a gravel driveway are among the tasks reviewers say were handled well. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the standard of the finished result, with particular care given to detail.

Several buyers describe quotes as competitive, some noting the final cost landed at or below the estimate, and billing limited to time actually spent on site. Tidiness, efficiency and skill on difficult sloped blocks are mentioned repeatedly, as is the ability to work without supervision and use time productively. His calm, courteous manner, breadth of knowledge and practical advice on the most effective approach are also praised. Work continued through inclement weather, and both small and large jobs were completed to satisfaction, leaving clients confident in the outcome of their excavation and earthworks preparation.

Had real trouble finding someone who could excavate and lay gravel for my driveway, but I found Joel on Google, and I'm so glad I did. He was professional, communicative, showed up on time and as promised, worked consistently, only charged for time spent, and even worked through inclement weather. Highly recommend.

Joel did a great job clearing quite a large area of scrub and cutting grass/sags under and around gum trees, roughly eight hours work (just part of it in the attached photo). He was great to work with, very easy going, punctual, efficient and tidy. He listened to what I wanted done and got it just right. Couldn't be happier with the job and very reasonable pricing.

Would 100% recommend earthwise excavations, Joel is always super tidy and precise with his work. We have used him a number of times and every time he has listened to exactly what we want and then gone beyond what we could hope for, he’s always got great ideas and helps if your abit unsure with what you want. He’s reliable, flexible and very skilled.
