Excavation Services

Need it dug, cleared or prepped? We can take care of that for you.

H & H Plant Hire offers practical, reliable excavation services for residential, commercial and civil projects across Newcastle, Maitland and the Hunter.

From clearing and preparing a site to digging trenches, removing concrete or getting the ground ready for a new driveway, slab or shed, we’ve got the machinery and experience to get stuck in and get it sorted.

Big job or small job, we bring the same approach: turn up when we say we will, work safely, communicate clearly and leave you with a job done properly.

Excavation & Earthmoving

When there’s dirt to move, ground to clear or a site that needs shaping, we’ve got you covered.

Our excavation and earthmoving services are suited to a wide range of residential, commercial and civil projects. With reliable machinery and experienced operators behind the controls, we can tackle everything from smaller backyard projects and tight-access jobs through to larger site works.

Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll work out the right approach, equipment and timeframe to get it done.

Our Excavation Services

Site Clearing & Preparation

A good project starts with a properly prepared site. We can clear, excavate and level your site ready for construction, landscaping or whatever comes next.

DEtailed Excavation & Final Trim

When accuracy matters, we can complete detailed excavation and final trim work to get surfaces, levels and grades where they need to be before the next stage of your project begins.

Tight Access Excavation

Our smaller excavators are ideal for residential properties, backyards and other sites where access is limited, allowing us to get into tighter spaces without bringing in more machine than the job needs.

Drainage & Trenching

Need a trench dug for drainage, plumbing, electrical or other underground services? We can complete clean, efficient trenching to the requirements of your project and help get the site ready for the next trade.

Demolition & Concrete Removal

Need to get rid of an old slab, driveway, concrete area or other structure before you can move forward? We can handle smaller-scale demolition and removal works, helping clear the way for whatever you have planned next.

Post Hole Digging

From fences and retaining walls to decks, piers and other structures, we can take care of the digging and preparation needed to get your posts in the ground.

Driveway, Slab & Shed Preparation

Planning a new driveway, concrete slab or shed? We can handle the excavation and ground preparation required before construction begins, giving your next trade a properly prepared site to work with.

Turf & Landscaping Preparation

If your outdoor area needs a reset, we can help with the groundwork. From removing existing material to levelling and preparing areas for turf and landscaping, we’ll get the site ready for the finishing touches.

Small Jobs Are Still Proper Jobs

You don’t need to be running a major construction project to give us a call.

We work with homeowners, trades, builders and businesses on projects of all shapes and sizes. Backyard excavation, drainage trenches, driveway preparation, clearing a site before the landscaper arrives - if you've got a job that needs a machine, have a chat with us.

We also offer weekend and after-hours project work where available, making it easier to get things done around work, trades and other commitments.

Our excavation services combine our well-maintained equipment with experienced operation, so you don't have to worry about choosing the right machine, organising an operator or figuring things out as you go.
