SITE CUTS & BASEMENTS

Precision earthworks to get sloped and hillside blocks ready to build on — from cut-and-fill site prep to full basement excavation.

// What's Involved

CUTTING A LEVEL BUILDING PAD

A site cut involves cutting into sloped or elevated land to create a level, stable pad ready for a new home, shed, extension or driveway. It's one of the first jobs on any hillside block across the Yarra Ranges.

Chris handles the cut-and-fill earthworks, manages spoil on or off site, and works to the levels your builder, surveyor or engineer need.

  • Cut-and-fill earthworks to engineer or builder specifications
  • Spoil managed on-site as fill, or removed where needed
  • Coordination with surveyors, engineers and builders
  • Site left clean and ready for the next trade

FULL BASEMENT DIGS

For basement and lower-level builds, Entire Excavations handles the full excavation — benching, safe batter angles, and site management to protect neighbouring structures and services.

Whether it's a full basement under a new build or a lower-level extension, the job is scoped around your engineer's drawings and the realities of the site.

  • Full basement excavation to engineer specifications
  • Benching and safe batter angles on deeper digs
  • Site safety and management around existing structures
  • Suited to hillside and sloped blocks common across the Yarra Ranges
// What Affects The Job

EVERY SITE IS DIFFERENT

Slope & Access

Steeper blocks and tight access change the machinery and approach needed — Chris will assess this on site or from photos.

Soil & Rock Type

Clay, rock and mixed ground all cut differently. Rock breakers come out when needed.

Council & Engineering

Larger cuts and basements are scoped around your engineer's or surveyor's requirements.

SITE CUT QUESTIONS

Quick answers on site cuts and basement excavation across the Yarra Valley and Melbourne.

Do I need an engineer for a site cut or basement?

For larger cuts or basement excavations, yes — Chris works alongside your engineer or building surveyor to make sure the job meets requirements.

What happens to the excavated material?

Depending on the site, spoil can be reused on the property as fill or removed off-site — Chris will talk you through the best option for your block.

Can you handle tight access sites?

In many cases, yes. Send through photos or arrange a site visit so Chris can confirm machine access and the safest approach.

Can you prepare a site ready for builders?

Yes. Site cuts, basement excavation, trenching and general earthworks can be completed ready for the next build stage.
