From knockdown rebuilds to granny flat pads, Chatswood keeps our excavators busy. What you get with East Coast Demo is a crew that has seen your kind of site before: the North Shore trades on established streets, big trees and rock under the topsoil.

Digging and Earthworks Across Chatswood
The Excavation Services We Run in Chatswood
Four kinds of work make up most excavation jobs, and we run all of them with our own gear and operators.
We provide complete excavation and site preparation solutions, including:
- Bulk and detailed excavation
- Land clearing and soil removal
- Trenching for utilities and drainage
- Foundation and footing excavation
- Pool, basement, and pit excavation
- Site levelling and grading
Whether you’re preparing for a new build, extension, or redevelopment, East Coast Demo ensures a strong start with clean, level, and compliant groundworks.
Residential Excavation and Site Cuts
House pads, piering holes, pool digs and driveway cuts for homeowners and builders. Much of the work happens on established blocks with neighbours close on both sides, so we plan the dig around the access rather than the other way round, and we protect what stays: fences, trees, the neighbour’s goodwill.
Residential excavation projects include:
- New home site cuts
- Driveway and landscaping preparation
- Pool and retaining wall excavation
- Footing and slab excavation
We take pride in delivering a clean, efficient service that helps builders and property owners stay on schedule and within budget.
Commercial, Industrial and Civil Work
Bulk excavation, detailed excavation and service trenching for commercial builds, from shop fitouts that need slab cuts through to multi-dwelling sites. We work to survey, coordinate with your engineer and keep spoil moving so the program does not stall.
Clearing, Grubbing and Site Preparation
Lots often come with more than dirt on them: old stumps, buried rubble, stockpiled fill of unknown quality. We clear, sort what can be recycled, and prepare the surface so your build starts on ground an engineer will pass.
Before any construction or redevelopment begins, proper site preparation is essential.
At East Coast Demo, we offer complete land clearing and excavation services to remove unwanted materials, vegetation, and debris. Our team ensures your site is ready for construction, meeting all local council and environmental requirements.

We handle:

Every project is completed using efficient, low-impact techniques that protect the environment and surrounding properties.
Service Trenching and Stormwater
Trenching for new builds and infill: power, comms, water, sewer, stormwater. Cut to depth, bedded properly and backfilled to compaction spec, because a trench that settles takes the driveway with it.
What Chatswood Sites Throw at an Excavator
Here is what experience in Chatswood and its region tells us. In short, much of the North Shore sits on Hawkesbury sandstone, so digs here regularly involve rock sawing or hammering, and we quote for it honestly rather than discovering it on day two. Established leafy streets mean tree preservation rules and tighter truck staging than the suburbs further out. None of it is a problem when it is planned for, and all of it is when it is not.
Safety and Environmental Responsibility
SWMS on every job, licensed and experienced operators on every machine, services located before the first bucket. Waste and spoil leave site documented and go where the EPA says they should.

Chatswood Excavation Questions, Answered
Can you get machines into a tight backyard?
Usually, yes. We run machines down to about a metre wide, and where access is genuinely impossible we will tell you straight and price the alternative, whether that is a conveyor, a crane lift or hand digging the last stretch.
How long does a residential site cut take?
Most single dwelling cuts run one to three days depending on volume, ground moisture and how far the spoil travels. You get a day count with the quote and an update if the ground argues.
Will you work in with my builder?
Every week of the year. Send us the site plan and the program and we slot in where the schedule needs us, and we talk directly with the builder so nothing gets lost in relay.
