About this service
Expert Footing Excavation & Drainage Installation Across Brisbane & South East Queensland
Whether you're building a fence, shed, pergola, or extension — or solving a persistent water problem in your backyard — getting the groundwork right is everything. Poor footings crack and shift. Inadequate drainage causes water to pool, damages foundations, and turns your yard into a bog every time it rains.
At Micro Excavation QLD, we dig precise footings to the exact depth and dimensions your builder or engineer specifies, and we install drainage trenches that actually fix the problem — not just mask it. Our Kubota mini excavator gets into tight backyards, narrow side passages, and confined spaces where standard machinery simply can't operate.
We work alongside builders, concretors, plumbers, and homeowners across Brisbane, Logan, Redlands, Ipswich, Scenic Rim, and the Gold Coast.
Two services, one specialist
Footings & Drainage — What We Do
Two different services, both requiring precise excavation in tight residential spaces. We handle both across Brisbane and South East QLD.
Footing Excavation
We dig footings for residential structures to the exact specifications required — depth, width, and base compaction all done correctly so your concretor can pour with confidence.
- Fence and retaining wall footings
- Shed and pergola pad footings
- Extension and granny flat strip footings
- Post hole digging for structural posts
- Trenches for slab edge beams
Drainage Installation
We trench and install residential drainage solutions that solve water problems permanently — not just redirecting it to your neighbour's yard, but directing it properly to stormwater or absorption areas.
- Agricultural drainage (ag pipe) trenching
- Surface channel drainage preparation
- Stormwater connection trenches
- Backyard drainage for pooling water
- Drainage alongside retaining walls
