The Excavation Services We Run in Kensington
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.
House Pads, Piering and Residential Digs
Residential digs live and die on preparation: services located, access measured, spoil route agreed. We handle knockdown rebuild cuts, extensions, underpinning support digs and everything between, with the demolition tidy-up folded in where we did that stage too.
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
Developers and builders use us for staged digs where sequencing matters: bulk out first, detail later, services trenched to the civil drawings. One crew across the stages keeps the levels honest and the handovers clean.
Lot Clearing and Site Prep
From overgrown blocks to post-demolition sites, we take land back to a clean, level starting point. Green waste, stumps and rubble leave site documented and sorted for recycling where it can be.
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.

Service Trenching and Stormwater
Stormwater, absorption trenches and drainage runs that actually move water where it should go. On reactive ground, getting the drainage right at dig stage is the cheapest insurance a slab can buy.
What Kensington Sites Throw at an Excavator
Here is what experience in Kensington and its region tells us. In short, the east sits on the Botany sand belt with sandstone through the ridge lines, so shoring sandy digs and sawing rock are both routine here. Parking pressure is real, so permits and quick load cycles keep the neighbours onside. None of it is a problem when it is planned for, and all of it is when it is not.
Safety and Environmental Responsibility
Compliance is table stakes: SafeWork NSW practice, EPA-compliant disposal, insurances current and available on request. The bit clients notice is the site left safe and tidy every single afternoon.

Kensington Excavation Questions, Answered
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.
Do you do the compaction testing too?
We prepare pads to spec and coordinate with your geotech for testing at the hold points your engineer sets. You get a platform that passes, not just a flat-looking paddock.
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.
