Why Melbourne Chooses Us

The local, family-run crew that says yes to the jobs others won't

Suggestions and solutions along the way, not just a dig-and-leave job.

Real Reviews

What Melbourne Homeowners Say

“I wish there were more stars! Andrew and the Excavating Solutions team have been champions. We have an impossible backyard which numerous companies said “no” to before Andrew said yes — very tight access, steep terrain and an incredible number of large, heavy basalt rocks. Amazing job!”
Jon Kernutt
Upwey
“The boys showed up on time every day, did a stellar job, made suggestions on how we could do better, thought ahead for solutions and even cleaned up and left our site in better condition than before machines were here.”
