What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Domestic retaining wall projects in Melbourne's outer east are the mainstay of this business, and reviewers repeatedly single out Shane for the way he approaches them. Accounts describe crumbling timber walls, concrete sleeper replacements and rock walls built in tight, restricted-access yards, often around pool pipes, buried gas lines and carports that other contractors had declined to work near. Customers describe Shane as taking the time to understand both the problem and the outcome sought, then staying in contact from the first quote through to completion.

Punctuality and reliability come up often, along with workmanship that leaves walls level and symmetrical and sites left neat and tidy. Several reviewers note that jobs were finished within the agreed timeframe and to the estimated cost, with changes accommodated as they arose. Attention to detail, a friendly and polite crew, and clear explanations of the work are recurring themes, and the results are described as an improvement to the properties. Rebuilds, replacements and new retaining wall construction feature throughout the feedback.

Shane and his team did a amazing job. Great attention to detail friendly service couldn't recommend them more! After dealing with 5 other companies over 7 months that couldn't deliver the job, Shane and his team came in and started within 2 weeks and went above and beyond for us. Thanks guys!!

I’ve dealt with a lot of retaining wall companies over the years, and Shane is very knowledgeable and professional. If you’re tossing up between contractors, you can have full faith that Shane and his team will get the job done properly and professionally. If any issues arise, they’ll be dealt with respectfully and in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Eastern Earthworks for any retaining wall jobs.

We recently hired Shane for a large domestic job removing existing timber retaining wall and stairs and replacing with concrete. Shane was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. Cannot recommend Shane and the team highly enough, they conduct themselves so professionally, always on time, helpful and polite. We are extremly satisfied with the result and works have made an outstanding improvement to our place and exceeding our expectations. Shane went over and above the initial quote, extending retaining wall slightly and removed 3 yukkas we would not have been able to remove due to their position along high fence line. Thanks Shane!
