About this service
General Residential Excavation Across Brisbane & South East Queensland
Not every excavation job fits neatly into a category. Sometimes you need a backyard dug out for a new pool. Sometimes a plumber needs a trench opened up in a tight side passage. Sometimes a builder needs a small area cleared and levelled before a granny flat can go up. That's exactly what we do.
Micro Excavation QLD handles all types of residential excavation and earthworks across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Our compact Kubota mini excavator is the right machine for the job — small enough to access tight spaces, powerful enough to handle real excavation work efficiently and cleanly.
We work alongside homeowners, builders, plumbers, landscapers, and concretors — doing the groundwork so other trades can get their job done. No job is too small, and no access is too tight.
What we handle
Residential Excavation Jobs We Do Across Brisbane
From simple backyard digs to complex tight-access earthworks — here are the most common residential excavation jobs we take on across Brisbane and South East QLD.
Backyard Excavation
Full backyard digs for pools, slabs, landscaping, and general earthworks. We excavate, remove spoil, and leave the site ready for your next trade.
Plumbing Access Trenches
Trenching for plumbers needing pipe access in backyards and tight side passages — we coordinate directly with your plumber on depth and timing.
Site Clearing & Stripping
Vegetation removal, topsoil stripping, and site clearing for new builds, granny flats, sheds, and extensions. We prepare the ground from scratch.
Stump & Rock Removal
Tree stumps, large rocks, and buried rubble removed from site — the kind of obstacle that stops other work from progressing, cleared efficiently.
Pool Excavation Prep
Excavation and site preparation ahead of pool installation — including tight access properties where pool excavation equipment can't normally reach.
General Earthworks
Any residential excavation job that doesn't fit a standard category — if you need ground moved on a residential property in Brisbane, call us and we'll let you know if we can help.
