Excavation

Excavation Services Hobart

The right ground work is an important part of every concrete job – so whether you’re preparing for a new home, a shed, or site works for a commercial build, our excavation services in Hobart are designed to get it right from the start. 

No two sites are the same – that’s why we tailor every excavation to your specific project needs and terrain. 

From tight urban blocks to sloping rural lots, as Hobart Concreters we work with care and precision to create a solid foundation for whatever comes next.

At JP Concreting Tas, we bring local knowledge, precise machinery and a clear process to ensure your site is level, stable and ready to build.

Why Good Excavation Matters

Excavation ’s about creating a stable, safe platform for everything that comes next. If the excavator’s work isn’t done properly, problems like uneven slabs, drainage issues or structural movement can show up later. 

With our team you’ll get:

  • Accurate site clearing & levelling – We clear vegetation, remove old foundations or debris and get your site level and ready to build.
  • Correct excavation depth & base preparation – We dig to the required depths for footings, slabs or services, and ensure that the sub‑base will support what you plan.
  • Safe and efficient machinery use – With fully licensed operators and well‑maintained equipment, we manage your site safely and efficiently, minimising disruption.
  • Attention to drainage and soil conditions – Because Hobart’s weather and soils vary, we plan for water flow, compaction and ground behaviour from the start.

Good excavation isn’t visible when it’s done right – but you’ll see the difference in how smoothly the build goes.

Our Excavation Service Breakdown

We offer a full range of excavation services to suit residential, commercial, and custom builds. Whether you’re clearing a new site or prepping for footings and slabs, here’s how we help get the groundwork done right.

Site Clearing & Preparation
We begin by clearing any vegetation, stumps or old structures and then carrying out the initial grading. This creates a clean, accessible work area and lays the foundation for accurate levels and safe access.

Bulk Excavation & Cut‑Fill
For larger sites or sloping blocks, we carry out cut and fill operations to reshape your site. We can handle bulk earthmoving, create level pads or terraces and ensure your project zone is functional and ready for construction.

Trenches, Retaining & Service Excavation
When your project requires plumbing, electrical or drainage trenches, retaining wall footings or deep excavations, our team brings the expertise and equipment to dig with precision. Controlled excavation ensures minimal disturbance and complies with relevant standards.

Final Trim & Base Compaction
Once the major excavation is done, we finish with laser‑levelled trimming and compaction of the base material. This step ensures your build platform or slab base has the right density and is ready for the next trades.

 

Every excavation we complete is carried out with precision, care, and a clear focus on what comes next. From first cut to final trim, we make sure your site is safe, compliant, and perfectly prepared for the build ahead.
