What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A recurring theme across Kosta & Sons Excavation reviews is the care taken with complex sites. Owners in Melbourne describe site cuts and retaining wall packages completed by Rick and his team, with several noting that steep driveways and curved walls were handled without fuss. A number of reviews mention attention to detail, from drainage solutions to exposed aggregate finishes, and say the finished result matched or exceeded what they had pictured. Communication stands out: customers describe being walked through construction matters in plain language and having their ideas for garden and concrete works understood.

Punctuality and tidiness come up often, with jobs finished on schedule and left neat. Rick is named for his professionalism and easy manner, while Pat and the wider crew are credited with going above and beyond. One account describes buckled beams and settled soil being repaired and extra topsoil supplied at no cost, which illustrates how problems are dealt with. The work spans excavation, drainage, retaining walls and exposed aggregate, done with a new excavator and a well-organised crew, leaving owners confident enough to call the team again for their next project.

The finished result exceeded our expectations. Our project was challenging, with a steep driveway and a curved retaining wall, but the team did an excellent job. The quality of the work was of a very high standard, and communication was great throughout the project. As someone with no construction background, I appreciated how clearly everything was explained. The team was professional, well organised and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They kept the site tidy, cleaned up after themselves each day, delivered exactly what was promised, completed the project on time, and offered excellent value for money. I’d definitely use them again for any future retaining wall or concreting work.

We are absolutely thrilled with the work Kosta and Sons did on our property. They completely transformed our driveway and front garden—it looks 110% better! Their team is professional, reliable, and truly experts in excavation and exposed aggregate. They didn't just do the work; they provided brilliant solutions to our site’s specific drainage issues. The finished product is high quality, and their attention to detail during the excavation and pouring process was superb. If you need a reliable contractor for concrete and excavation , look no further!"

I called Rick to my Greenvale property, he introduced himself very professional, with a big smile and bubbly personality. His passion for his work just radiated. Easy to talk to and listened as I explained the drainage/concrete issues I was having and a design project I wanted done. He was back with Pat/team they went above and beyond to fix the issues, and saw my vision of the design to my garden with attention to detail and lot's of patients with me 🙃 always with a smile they delivered 110% I'm very happy with Rick and his team worth every cent. I totally recommend them. Great job!!☺️
