What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Willunga and the surrounding districts feature regularly in accounts of earthmoving work carried out by this team, whose projects range from domestic backyard levelling and retaining walls to dam clean-outs and driveway preparation on rural properties. Across a range of jobs, a handful of customers describe the same pattern: a prompt response to the initial call, a quick visit to quote, clear answers to questions, and advice offered before work begins, including marking underground services for following trades.

Reviews time and again mention the skill and care with which machinery is handled, noting that even a large spring-fed dam was fully cleaned out and completed within a good timeframe despite doubts about access. Dan, named frequently alongside Shawn and the wider crew, is credited with helping design retaining walls, suggesting landscaping ideas and explaining each stage so the process feels straightforward.

Tidiness after completion comes up often, with sites left clean and no mess for owners to deal with. The same themes appear whether the job is residential or commercial, large or small: professionalism, attention to detail, punctuality and a friendly, down-to-earth manner. Customers return for additional work and describe the whole experience as seamless from start to finish, with the finished result matching or exceeding what was discussed at the quoting stage.

Dan and the team were fantastic. Great communication, really knowledgeable and most importantly, high quality work and attention to detail. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Was extremely happy with the work Dan and his team performed on our property. We had a very complicated dam clean out. Large dam which is spring fed. Was doubtful that all of the dam would be within machinery reach and due to being unable to complete dry the area, was uncertain of how much could be achieved. But Dan and his team with their knowledge and experienced handling of that machinery, managed to do a full clean out and within good time. They are all very experienced, respectful and hard working and very happy with the end result. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any future work needed.

Dan is proud and passionate about his work... The sorrunding of the house was never taken care of properly and got out of hand. When I called Dan, he came around to quote quick, answered all my queries quick, gave advice and marked everything underground for next trades. He left everything clean... Really down to earth moving company.. really humble and amazing... Photos says everything...

Dan and his team did such a fantastic job of our earth moving requirements for our big solar array project! They worked with absolute precision ensuring everything was lined up to perfection. The tidy up/fill in of channels dug was also great leaving the extensive work they'd done so neat you could barely know they'd been there. Would highly recommend! Thanks guys!

If you are looking for a trustworthy team that’s led from the top - an all engaged outfit that has the clients expectations at heart. Give these guys a call. Our project is on their page and we are as happy as the team at Willunga Earthmoving with the result. On time, under budget and no mess….. We will get them back for our next one.
