About this service
Expert Driveway Excavation & Site Preparation in Brisbane and South East Queensland
A great driveway starts with great groundwork. No matter how good your concretor or paver is, if the base isn't properly excavated, graded, and compacted, the driveway will crack, sink, or shift — often within just a few years. At Micro Excavation QLD, we do the job right so your investment lasts.
We handle all the excavation and site preparation work — clearing the area, digging to the correct depth, removing spoil, grading for drainage, and compacting the sub-base — so your concretor can pour with confidence. We work alongside concretors, pavers, and homeowners across Brisbane, Logan, Redlands, Ipswich, Scenic Rim, and the Gold Coast.
Our compact Kubota mini excavator is perfect for residential driveway jobs, including properties with tight access, narrow side gates, or limited space to manoeuvre.
What we do
Everything Included in Our Driveway Prep Service
We handle the full excavation and base preparation process — everything your concretor needs before they pour.
Site Clearing
We remove existing vegetation, old materials, rocks, and debris from the driveway area to give a clean start for excavation.
Depth Excavation
We excavate to the correct depth for your driveway type — typically 150–200mm for concrete — ensuring the slab has a solid, stable foundation.
Drainage Grading
We grade the sub-base with the correct fall so water drains away from your home — preventing pooling, flooding, and long-term slab damage.
Spoil Removal
All excavated soil and material is removed from site, leaving your property clean and ready for the next trade.
Base Compaction
The sub-base is compacted to the required density, giving your concretor a firm, level platform to pour on with no risk of movement.
Tight Access Jobs
Our Kubota mini excavator fits through single gates and narrow spaces — perfect for Brisbane residential properties with limited access.
