What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tim and his crew at Sabo's Excavations, servicing the Newcastle area, earn consistent praise across fifteen customer accounts for a mix of excavation and earthmoving tasks. Backyard clearing, grading and levelling for turf, removal of fill and reshaping of ground, preparation of a caravan pad, digging of post holes and construction of sandstone walls all appear among the completed jobs, frequently leaving sites ready for retaining walls and landscaping. Aaron is singled out for his operating skill, while the wider team is described as respectful, well mannered and cohesive on site.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the standard of communication, with customers kept informed when wet weather forced rescheduling, and quotes described as competitive with rough timeframes for completion. Punctuality features repeatedly, with crews arriving when promised and finishing without disrupting household routines. Reviewers note tidy, even ground that slopes correctly and pricing considered reasonable for the quality delivered. The manner in which unexpected changes were managed without fuss is mentioned more than once, and multiple clients indicate they would engage the same team for future earthworks. Sandstone wall construction stands out as a particular strength in the feedback.

Had Tim and his team clear and grade our backyard ready for building retaining walls and landscaping. He was excellent to work with! Came and gave a very competitive quote and rough estimate on how long the job would take. Very down to earth and professional to deal with. Having dealt with quite a few tradies recently, it was refreshing that Tim had brilliant communication keeping us in the loop when the weather was iffy and had to reschedule. Showed up precisely when he said he would and finished the job very efficiently. Would definitely recommend Sabo's down to earth Excavations!

Tim did a fantastic job of removing fill from our property this morning. He was on time and went above and beyond what was required for the job. After removing the fill he spent time shaping and sloping the yard so that the ground was even and flowed how it should. Could not recommend him high enough, will definitely be getting Tim and the team back for future works when needed.
