Excavation services

Excavation services on the Bellarine Peninsula

Excavation services on the Bellarine Peninsula prepare specific areas of a property for landscaping, driveways, retaining walls, pathways and other construction. CMS Landscaping provides residential excavation and landscape excavation, including retaining wall excavation, driveway excavation, pathway excavation and spoil removal. Based in Ocean Grove, we work across the Bellarine Peninsula, with projects also extending into Geelong, the Surf Coast and Southwest District.

Residential and landscape excavation for outdoor projects

Residential excavation may be required before new landscape or structural elements can be constructed. This can involve removing soil, creating space for foundations or establishing the required levels for the next stage of work.

Landscape excavation can be required when altering levels, creating new garden or outdoor areas or preparing for structural landscaping.

Retaining wall, driveway and pathway excavation on the Bellarine Peninsula

Retaining wall excavation prepares the required area before retaining wall construction begins. The excavation requirements depend on the position, dimensions and construction method of the proposed wall, as well as the existing levels of the property.

Driveway excavation prepares the required area and levels before the driveway construction progresses. CMS Landscaping can coordinate excavation with concrete or paved driveways and the surrounding landscape.

Pathway excavation may also be required before concrete, paving or other pathway surfaces are installed. Establishing the correct area and levels during excavation provides the foundation for the construction that follows.

Excavation can generate soil, rock and other material that is no longer required on the property. Where applicable to the project, spoil removal can form part of the excavation works so excess excavated material is removed from the work area.

FAQs
What types of projects require landscape excavation?

Landscape excavation may be required for retaining walls, driveways, pathways and other landscaping where soil needs to be removed or existing levels altered before construction.

Can you excavate for a new retaining wall?

Yes. CMS Landscaping provides retaining wall excavation and retaining wall construction, allowing the excavation to be coordinated with the wall that will follow.

Can you excavate for both paved and concrete driveways?

Yes. Driveway excavation can be undertaken in preparation for driveway construction. The excavation requirements will depend on the site and the type of driveway being constructed.

What happens to soil removed during excavation?

Excavated material may be retained and reused where appropriate to the project or removed where it is not required. Spoil removal can be included within the scope of excavation where excess material needs to be taken away.

Does access affect residential excavation?

Yes. Property access is an important consideration for residential excavation because machinery needs appropriate access to the work area. Existing structures, fencing, gates and surrounding landscaping may influence how excavation can be undertaken.
