Excavation and earthworks questions, answered
We're Dirt Mechanics, an operated excavation, earthmoving and earthworks business based in Kurunjang, near Melton in Victoria, Australia. We turn up with the machine and run it ourselves, so this isn't dry hire. These are the questions we get asked most, answered straight.
- Access, spoil, ground and cost, all answered.
- Ring us if yours isn't here.
- Kurunjang, Melton and Melbourne's west.
What people ring about
Will a machine fit. What happens to the dirt. What the ground is going to do to the job. And what it's going to cost. Nearly every call is one of those four, and the answers below are the ones we give on the phone.
Where we can't give a number, we say so rather than guessing. Ground and access change what a job takes more than anything else does, and a figure quoted off a description is a figure that moves. A photo of the way in gets you a straight answer faster than any price list would.
