Some blokes rush the cut, get the height wrong and leave your dirt slumping with no drainage. We read the fall, cut it level, and hold it with the right retaining wall.
Fill this out and Jason gives you a call back himself, not a call centre.
A site cut is the one thing nobody sees once the house goes up, and the one thing that ruins everything if it's wrong. Get the height out by a hundred mil and every trade after you pays for it. We take the time to read the fall of the land, set the levels true, and cut it so the slab sits exactly where it should. Done once, right.
You stand on a level pad on what used to be a sloping paddock. The dirt is held clean behind a rock wall that looks like it grew out of the hill. Water runs where it should, away from the house, not into it. No slump, no wash, no second guessing. Just solid, buildable ground waiting for your home.
Six years cutting sites across the Macedon Ranges and Mitchell Shire has taught us one thing. Work with the slope, never against it. A cut done right, with a retaining wall that belongs to the block, turns an awkward rural property into a place that looks like it was always meant to be built on.
Careless operators dig the pad, get the height rough, skip the drainage and leave your dirt slumping. We read the fall first, cut it dead level, and hold it properly.
We walk your block, check the slope and the water, and work out exactly where the pad sits and how high to cut before a machine turns over.
5t and 14t excavators cut to the right height, batter the sides, and set retaining walls that hold the dirt with drainage built in so water never wins.
You get a level, drained pad with a rock or concrete wall that looks like it belongs, so the builder starts on solid ground and your home sits right.
Yeah, that's most of what we do out here. A slope worries people because they think it can't be built on. It can. We read the fall, cut the pad level and batter or wall the sides so you get flat, buildable ground where a paddock used to be.
This is where sloppy operators cost you. Get the height wrong and every trade after pays for it. We set the levels off your plans before a machine moves, check them as we go and hand you a pad that's exactly where the slab needs to be.
A cut with no thought for water sends it straight at your house. We plan where the water runs first, build the fall and drainage into the cut, and set retaining walls that shed water away from the pad, not into it. Sorted before we leave.
Yeah, that's our packages. Driveway and site cut, or site cut and retaining walls as a complete lot. One crew, one price, one bloke responsible for the whole thing. No finger pointing between contractors when it's all us.
Depends on the slope, the soil and how much has to hold. That's why cheap phone quotes blow out. We come look at your block properly and give you a fixed price on paper so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
I run JJH Excavations across the Macedon Ranges and Mitchell Shire out of Broadford. Six years cutting sites, building driveways and setting retaining walls on rural blocks for home owners, farmers and hobby farmers. Built once, done right.
I think about the whole job, not just my part. Before a machine moves I take the time to understand what you actually want out of the block, then we cut it, drain it and hold it so it works. We leave the land better than we found it.
Running a 5t and 14t excavator, posi track and tandem tipper means I can handle the cut, the walls and the cart-away myself. One bloke, one crew, one price. You deal with me start to finish.
